Quotation of the Day for May 21, 2011



Alan:

And what will happen to the houses?

Peter:

Well, naturally, the houses will be swept away and the tents of the ungodly with them, and they will all be consumed by the power of the heavens and on earth - and serve them right!

Alan:

And shall we be consumed?

Peter:

Con..sum..ed? No, we shall not be consumed - we shall be up on the mountain here, you see, while millions burn, having a bit of a giggle.

- Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, Dudley Moore and Alan Bennett, from the 1961 Beyond The Fringe sketch, The End of the World.

May 21, 2011 has been suggested as the date for the end of the world by Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California. [qotd subscribers are requested to make their Amazon purchases through our store early so that we receive our commission before the Rapture. -eds.]
