Countdown to the beginning of the End of the World

According to Harold Camping of FamilyRadio.com, The end of the World begins May 21st at 6pm, in whatever timezone you are in, so I have created a countdown widget set to 6pm, May 21st, 2011 on Kiritimati, Kiribati, which borders the International Dateline at it's eastern most point.

By Campings predictions, the people of Kiritimati will be the first to experience the beginning of the end of the world which, according to Camping, will begin with a massive earthquake, resurrection, return of Christ, judgement day and rapture. Those who remain on earth will then enter a five month period of horror and suffering that will conclude October 21st with the complete destruction and end of the world.

R.E.M. - It's the end of the world

It's a day early, but I figure if I post this tomorrow no one will be around to watch it 'cause we'll all be raptured, dead, or too busy dealing with the final judgement and destruction of the world to bother. Besides, the net will probably be down.

Enjoy!
