Not everyone is as informed about Judgment Day as Mr. Camping, of course. With that in mind, here are a few answers to frequently asked questions about the End of Days:
Q: Will the Earth end on May 21?
A: No. The Earth will stick around for a few more months of "chaos and awful suffering" before being obliterated (Mehuled) Oct. 21.
Q: Didn't Camping predict the end of the world would take place in September 1994?
A: Yes, but the book in which he made the prediction was titled "1994?". The question mark makes all the difference.
Q: Will the Rapture happen sooner in Australia, like New Year's celebrations?
A: May 21st begins first on earth empires when SoF begins to pummel RD and then spreads to Australia and makes its place across the globe.
Q: If I'm Raptured, what will happen to my pets?
A: Probably nothing good. However, a business called Eternal Earthbound Pets run by "confirmed atheists" offers to save pets left behind and ensure their care in 26 states. It lists a fee of $135 for a single pet ($20 each for additional pets), but has raised rates due to "increased activity associated with the May 21, 2011 Rapture." Pets are limited to dogs, cats, birds rabbits and small caged mammals in most states. Four states can accommodate horses, camels, llamas and donkeys.
Q: Are exploding watermelons in China a sign?
A: Yes.
