Well according to the first group May 21st is judgement day. The end of the world doesn't end until Oct. 21st, 2011. Though in this 5 month period its going to be torment and hell on earth it sounds like. Hell even the dead are going to be raised up from all the earthquakes and their lifeless bodies laying everywhere. DEATH will be everywhere. Be very afraid people, these guys sound like they know what they are talking about lol. I sent them an email asking if I should cancel plans that occur after May 21st or Oct 21st.

Would be lovely, the only real problem is that they would never be willing to put their money where their mouths are.
Since they aren't 100% sure and do have some doubts. If they had none, they would have no problem making the bet.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Well they actually responded to my email asking when I should cancel plans. First they told me just to cancel. Then I had to ask as to which date. They confirmed all plans would be changing in May not Oct. Just thought I would let you guys know, so you guys don't make any unecessary plans or get disappointed. They have this info on high authority.

So... I assume this is when Skynet goes online and declares war on the world or is this simply when the nukes hit their target?
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Terminator jokes are pretty common in these contexts.

I suppose. I hear them all the time at Fark.com every time something interesting happens with AI or robotic development.
