A New York man spent his entire $140,000 life savings advertising his prediction that the world will end May 21, the New York Post reported Friday.
Robert Fitzpatrick, a 60-year-old Staten Island resident, said he spent at least that sum on 1,000 subway-car placards and ads on bus kiosks and subway cars.
They say, "Global Earthquake: The Greatest Ever! Judgment Day May 21, 2011."
In a self-published book, "The Doomsday Code," Fitzpatrick said the Bible offers "proof that cannot be dismissed."
"Judgment Day will surprise people. We will not be ready for it," Fitzpatrick said in an interview with the newspaper. "A giant earthquake will render the earth uninhabitable."
If you want to set an alarm clock, the quake will happen just before 6:00pm local time, he said.
"God's people will be resurrected. It is also the day that God stops saving anyone," he said.
Fitzpatrick hopes that he is one of the chosen ones, but he could not be really certain.
"There's just a little doubt," he said. "Most churches teach that if you just believe, you will be saved.
It is not our choice. It is God's choice." •

This makes me so mad and sad at the same time, because so many people are believing this bunch of garbage!
Please don't sell all your stuff or liquidate your bank account or quit your job in preparation for May 21. There are those who will literally be destitute after May 21 because they listened to this false prophet (I want to say "nut job", but it's actually more spiritually insidious than that).
Some are listening to Harold Camping even though they know he previously did the same thing. He will not be a false prophet because of May 21. He is ALREADY a false prophet!
Don't be one of those who believe him.
Hold fast to the awesome and wonderful truth that our awesome and wonderful Lord and Savior will indeed return at the right time.
But don't listen to the pathetic false prophet Harold Camping!
Yes, I said it. He's not prophetic, he's pathetic! -Rev. D
