Well, we all need something to do with our spare time.
I wonder if the boys in Las Vegas are keeping book on this?
British doomsday mathematician Gordon Ritchie provides this update on
his latest attempts to predict a terrorist bomb attack on the UN Plaza
in Manhattan:

On April 29th we started predicting dates for a terrorist Nuclear
Bomb at the UN in midtown. After making several mistakes we realised
that 1 Kings 18:43 declared we would get it right at the 8th attempt
(Since Elijah asked his attendant to go and look for a man made mushroom
cloud 7 times after the first no show, making 8 attempts in all). The
trouble is that we have found it hard to decide just what a valid
attempt is. Here are all the incorrect dates we have so far proposed…
2006Iyyar21 (May 19/20) [7 days after 2006Iyyar14]
2006Iyyar28 (May 26/27) [7 days after first mistaken date]
2006Iyyar11 (June 8/9) [First day of the 2,000 pigs of Mark 5
incorrectly calculated]
2006Sivan12 (June 9/10) [First day of the 2,000 pigs of Mark 5
correctly calculated but misinterpreted]
2006Tammuz2-6 (June30-July4) [7th sabbath after 1st mistake/7th
sabbath omitting 2006Sivan5/7th Sabbath lookout day]
2006Tammuz28/29 (July 25 - 27) [Assumed contest began on 911]
2006Ab3/4 (July 30 - August 1) [Assumed second ‘day’ of contest
began when wheat went limit up in Chicago]
2006Ab8 (August 4/5) [Assumed second ‘day’ of contest began on non
BLC day of 2006Adar28 so that 1750th day is sabbath]
2006Ab15 (August 11/12) [7th sabbath lookout period assuming
2006Tammuz2/3 and 2006Tammuz4-6 were separate sabbath mistakes]
What we now propose is either…
2006Ab22 (August 18/19) [7th sabbath lookout period after first
mistake, counting 2006Tammuz2-6 and 2006Tammuz28/29 as two separate
mistakes in the same sabbath month]]
Or in the alternative…
2006Ab29 (August 25/26) [7th sabbath lookout period after first
mistake, counting the whole sabbath month of 2006Tammuz as one mistake]
