Quiz: It's the End of the World as We Know It
- If Luther predicted Christ's return 300 years out — long after his own death — why pine for a return you will never see?
Ben (addressed by name in the audio) runs the multiple-choice quiz 'It's the End of the World as We Know It' on false end-times predictions. Participants — including Dan, Dan Hudson, Mike Foost, Kevin Lindgren (nicknamed 'Kevin Leningrad'), and Troy — answer under playful quiz-show handles (Milbeck's Freedmont, Dr. Cacophoni, Spangenhouser, Dusendorfer, Ralstendorfer, Felspar). Questions cover the AD 53 Thessalonians rumor, The Sun's 1997 Noah's-Ark tabloid claim, Luther's 300-year prediction, the Jehovah's Witnesses ('all of the above'), killer bees explained via a read-through of Revelation 9's locusts, and a 1991 prediction that Jesus would return at Sydney Harbor. A running bit has a participant insisting New Jersey is a city.
