"In May 2011, Harold Camping became world famous (not to mention Internet famous) for predicting that the world would end on May 21.    \nThe notion became an ironic web meme, topping the charts that week as the most discussed topic on Twitter, with hashtags like #iftheworldendsonsaturday showing up on Twitter's trending topics.\nWhen the saved did not rise up to heaven on that date, Camping updated his prediction, stating on his website: \"Thus we can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect), are under the judgment of God, and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on October 21, 2011\".  \nOct. 21 is this Friday.\nWhat might we see if Camping is right this time?  Thanks to May's #rapturebomb trend (below), we can take a guess \u2014 and yet the more likely outcome seems to be another round of Twitter jokes.\n\n\nThe Rapture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBad Timing\nPhoto courtesy TwitPic/@tlinder84\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Yeah, so I was watching TV....\"\nPhoto courtesy TwitPic/@spunior\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Uh oh...
