Sunday Funnies: Doomsday Edition

I don't think I've done this before in the funnies (leading off with a link to text), but go read this article in The Guardian, the funniest thing I've seen all week. The dead-pan reporting is side-splitting. An excerpt:
The leader of a Christian group who claimed that the world would end on Wednesday has admitted his prediction was “incorrect”.
Chris McCann, head of the eBible fellowship, warned that the planet would be destroyed “with fire” on 7 October. This did not happen.
“Since it is now 8 October it is now obvious that we were incorrect regarding the world’s ending on the 7th,” McCann said.
McCann originally told the Guardian that by Thursday the world would be “gone forever: annihilated”. McCann based his claim on an earlier prediction by Christian radio host Harold Camping, who said the world would end on 21 May 2011. Camping’s forecast also turned out to be incorrect."

I posted this comic last in week's funnies, but this follow-up conversation is worth a follow-up. Matt Bors
