Camping: End of the World Coming Friday

Harold Camping's first handful of apocalyptic warnings having passed, the controversial Evangelical minister has made a new end-of-the-world prediction... for this Friday.  Camping claims the date was determined using numerous factors from The Holy Bible.

Experts say these Doomsday predictions have increased in recent years, though none have proven true.  Often, when such predictions fail to pass, those who issued them claim they actually did happen, the rest of the world just failed to notice their results -- as is the case with Camping, whose earthquake predictions for January 21^st were changed to say that God had "shaken the world with fear."
