Harold Camping Prediction: World Survives Doomsday (Again)
Huffington 10/22/11 07:49 PM ET Updated: 10/22/11 07:49 PM ET
The world refused to end yet again on Friday, despite another prediction from Family Radio network owner Harold Camping that it would.
Earlier this year, Camping claimed Judgement Day was coming May 21. Then, when it did not, he said the actual day of reckoning would be October 21.
That day too passed without incident and now the Daily Mail is having a tough time getting Camping or anyone else from Family Radio to explain why the Earth is still turning. The paper's calls to the company were not returned.
In May, thousands of billboards across the country proclaimed the world would end on May 21. One man from New York City said he spent his life savings on advertisements notifying his fellow citizens that the apocalypse was near.
This time, there was no such fanfare, perhaps showing that people have grown weary of trusting a man who is now 0 for 3 when it comes to anticipating Armageddon.

TRAVERSE CITY -- The Coast Guard was searching Grand Traverse Bay today for a missing boater last seen Saturday morning -- one of three people missing in Lake Michigan over the weekend.
Jay Evens Farr, 59, of Northport was in a 10-foot dinghy at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, headed from the Leelanau Peninsula to get his sailboat at North Point Marina, Coast Guard officials said. It was not known whether he was wearing a lifejacket.
High winds created perilous conditions and waves of 8 to 14 feet in many locations around the lake.
"All around the Great Lakes there were storm warnings and gale warnings," Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Kyle Niemi said.
Rescuers were also searching this weekend for a kayaker missing near New Buffalo and a jet skier missing near Holland.
Storm warnings and gale warnings, waves of 8 to 14 feet, and the guy goes out in a 10-foot dinghy? Ditto for a kayak and a jet ski. And the temperature was about 50. Hello, anybody home up there?
