Harold Camping, 89 years old man, who predicted that the world will end on May 21st, 2011 (Rapture 2011). He predicted that the world will come to an end before, in 1994, but had said it was a miscalculation and that it would be on May 21st, 2011 instead.

On May 21st, when the world did not ended, Harold was nowhere to be seen. Rumors has it is that he is hiding from his followers.

Especially Camping’s followers will be demanding an explanation as they had put all their faith in Camping’s prediction, quitting jobs, selling their possessions and donating all their money to support the Doomsday campaign.

A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.

An old bastard who, after falsely predicting the rapture and subsequent end of the world twice in 1994 and May 21, 2011, has boldly made another prediction for October 21, 2011. He screwed over many people (although if you're dumb enough to believe it...you kind of deserve it.) He made millions off of this scam from his followers, some donating all of their life savings and retirement to his "non-profit organization."

A pastor who predicted that the world was going to end on May 21st, 2011. He was wrong.

President of Family Radio, and host of his show "Open Forum." He is notorious for his frequent predictions of the rapture, that so far have not been fulfilled. His most recent prediction was in 2011, where he promised that 200 million believers would be taken to heaven, while the rest of the world's population would be left on earth to witness the end of the world. He had predicted that earthquakes would begin at 6 PM on Christmas island and would continue until the end of the world on October 21, 2011, where the world would be completely destroyed by a ball of fire. When the rapture failed to occur on the said day, he "moved" the date of the rapture to October 21, saying that the previous date had been a "spiritual" rapture, and that the real rapture would occur on October 21, 2011, complete with the simotaneous destruction of the world. Unfortunatly, his previous failed prediction will likely ruin his credibility. He had previously predicted the rapture to occur early in 1994.

an old piece of shit that has a lot of money because he convinced people that he knows when the world is going to end. he has been wrong on all predictions, and there are more to come in the future.

One of a long line of chicken-little wannabes. Greatest claim to fame was conning thousands of Christians into re-painting their mini-vans and holding placards declaring May 21 2011 to be the end of the world (biblical rapture). Camping's other claim to fame was the same stunt, back in 1994, which goes to prove that the average American has a memory like your average goldfish.
