" Inhabitants of New Zealand, scheduled to be among the first to meet the apocalypse according to a US fundamentalist preacher, this morning confirmed they were still in existence as the appointed time was reached in their time zone.

There were also unconfirmed reports that Tonga has, thus far, failed to boil into the Pacific.

Eighty-nine-year-old tele-evangelist Harold Camping had prophesied that the “Rapture” would begin with powerful earthquakes at 6pm in each of the world’s regions, after which the good would be beamed up to heaven.

This morning, Kiwis confirmed there were no signs of the dead rising from the grave, nor of the living ascending into the clouds to meet Jesus Christ.

Twitter users were disappointed by the absence of Armaggedon. "

I always wondered, "Who put up the sign?" and "Why?":-)

Guess not. I will be attending my own Post Rapture-fail Herfing, however.

The Rapture is still coming, they were just using the wrong texts to calculate the date.
Just you wait...

I was worried, I thought that he said rupture.:-)

Better yet, pretend it happened after 6! Walk up to strangers and say "awe man, you're still here too!"

Good thing it didn't happen. I slept late and would have really been irritated if I'd missed the opening ceremonies. Plus I hadn't even figured out what my End Of The World cigar was going to be. Dodged that bullet. :-)

I haven't gotten any Asian spam promising me large body parts and amazingly satisfied ladies since yesterday. Maybe there is something to the whole rapture thing ... :-)
