The end is nigh!

So the crazy folks who insist that Judgement Day is May 21 have infested our neighborhood. Yesterday, I got passed by a giant, lime green bus with attached trailer, each shrink-wrapped with the cling film announcing that it was time to repent because Judgement Day was May 21. This morning, I got passed by a maroon SUV bearing the same message. This one was blasting trumpet fanfares every two or three seconds. I hope nobody in the neighborhood was still trying to sleep.

Short version: Crunch a bunch of (made up and/or interpolated) numbers based on a mix of Old Testament sources and Kabbalah, and you get May 21, 2011 as being a significant date. What is its significance, exactly? That depends on what numbers you applied and crunched. In order to have something to panic and/or gloat about, that was decided to be either the end of the world or the Rapture or both.
