Someone was telling me about a May 15th rapture and then an October 15th Second Coming. I laughed, and told him I'd see him at Friendly's on the 16th.

They were saying the 21st of May. There are road signs about it here in BC, Canada too. I don't understand how they can afford to put up these giant billboards all over the world.

The signs say: "Joy to the World, the LORD is coming, May 21, 2011"

Did you guys see these in your neighborhood?

Earth's magnetic field is caused by the fact that the molten outer core is spinning around. Because it's spinning in its current direction, magnetic North points where it does, and magnetic South points where it does. In order for the magnetic poles to reverse, the entire outer core has to begin spinning/rotating in the opposite direction. I just Googled quickly and found this:

That would take an calamitous collision with a meteor. I'm talking an extreme ELE that hits us at a glancing blow on one of the poles. The Earth has too large of a moment of inertia for it to just naturally flip over. It has a natural wobble which moves the pole with respect to the plane of the solar system, but it oscillates around the same point. It's not going to naturally flip over, even with millions of years.

There have been tons of magnetic reversals in the past and life continues anyway. There's no need for any end of days stuff here.

maybe they sold everything and bought the signs. why need money? the world is ending, right?

ELE?

the problem with a pole shift in modern times is that we rely on computers for food/transportation, and a pole shift could screw them up. america for example would be crippled without our electronics, millions would die.
