According to the latest bunch of religious people and whatnot, that is!

http://www.businessinsider.com/end-of-world-may-21-2011-4
(Short and simple article)

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-preacher-warns-end-of-the-world-is-nigh-21-may-around-6pm-to-be-precise-2254139.html
(Has a video of this priest guy who made the claims, I think)

So, in short, for those who don't like reading links, every place in the world will get an earthquake that will "make the recent events in Japan seem like nothing" at 6PM because May 21st is the data that matches up along with some biblical calculations. Sounds like fun if you ask me! Be sure to stock up on milk and cookies, goodness knows how long this apocalypse or whatever it is could go on for.

We don't even get earthquakes where i live...
Well, this would't be the first time some religious nutjob has predicted the apocalypse. The world was supposed to have ended several times in the last century, but none of that happened.
 
Interesting fact: This "apocalyptic prediction" is actually a "recalculation" from the exact same prediction this same guy made in 1994.
And yet I was born...

Exactly.
 
my friend mentioned this in class, except that it's gonna be a zombie apocalypse. plus, I just did the math from 4990-7000 and it's -2010, get rid of the negative and it's
20-FRIKING-10! Math in the spoiler. Don't know if I did it right though.
And no, there are no 722,500 days within that period. (Including leap-years) 7,000x365=2,555,000.
yea, 5x10x17x5x10x17=722,500, but regardless, they forgot to minus leap-years. so lets take 364x7,000 and you get 2,548,000. now let's add in the leaps. 7000/4=1750+2,548,000=2,549,750. (Unless I completely did this wrong. XP)
And i was going to do something else. but I forgot. So for me, the 2010 part completely blows it out the water for me.
 
I always find it funny the way far-right American Christians are always so fearful and intolerant of people from the middle east, despite the fact the Jesus was a middle-eastern Jew...

There are 2 rules for leap years.
Firstly, a leap year is always divisible by 4. However, 'centuries' are ONLY leap years if the first 2 digits are divisible by 4.
For example. The first 10 leap years from 1980 are:
  1. 1980
  2. 1984
  3. 1988
  4. 1992
  5. 1996
  6. 2000
  7. 2004
  8. 2008
  9. 2012
  10. 2016
The first 10 leap years from 1880 will be:
  1. 1880
  2. 1884
  3. 1888
  4. 1892
  5. 1896
  6. 1904
  7. 1908
  8. 1912
  9. 1916
  10. 1920
In otherwords, after 2000, we won't get another leap year ending in 00 until 2004.
Also 365 days in a normal year, 366 days in a leap year. The number of days in 7000 years is would be... 365 x 7000 (2,555,000), before adding in the extra leap ears. 7000/4 = 1750, add this to 2,555,000 and you get 2,556,750. However, remember, we then have to remember that 1700, 1800, 1900 were NOT leap years, for example. So of the 70 centuries in 7000 years, only 17-18 (well 17.5 but that's impossible) were leap years, so therefore, it's 1750 - 17 or 18, which means, there are actually 2,556,732-2,556,733 days in 7000 years. The reason why it's either can be simplified.

If we use a 20-year period from 1890 - 1910, there are 3650 days, plus the extra days in 1892, 1896, 1904, and 1908, making a total of 3654.
However, if we use a 20-year period from 1990 - 2010, there are the 3650 days, plus the extra days in 1992, 1996, 2004, and 2008 again, making 3654, however, there's also 2000, thus, 20 years can have 3654 OR 3655.

In short... 2,556,732 or 2,556,733 days in 7000 years.

Although I may have gotten this completely wrong.

Google, however, says that 7000 years is equal to 2,556,695 days, 9 hours, 21 minutes and 36 seconds, ... well 2,556,695.39 days anyway.

YEah, what kind of stupid nonsense is this? How can something happen at 6 pm in every specific timezone? I mean it's bad enough that people believe it will happen at all, but how can something happen at exactly 6 pm in the Pacific time zone, then the Mountain time zone 1 hour later, then the Central Time zone one hour later, than Eastern 1 hour later, then the UK 5 hours later, then China another 8 hours later, then Australia betweeen the same time as China and a couple lf hours later depending on time zones?
 
My last hours?
I thinkk I'll spend them doing everything I haven't done.

1. Losing my Viginity
2. Going to a theme park
3. Become the most popular person in my class
4. Get at least 2 As, 5 or 6 B's and only oner C.
5. Get a slam dunnk in a game of basketball
6. Get arrested
7. Break out of jail
8. Becoming an admin here

Yep, lotsa stuff I haven't done.

Reminds me of that one joke.
"I was put on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind I won't be able to die."
...Well, at least #8 does.
