Music of the moment, 6/17/11 - MODULAR - Sonic Explorations

Mellow, moody soundscapes with a hint of angst and longing.

Verified! The rapture will take place tomorrow at 6pm!

Using my son's copy of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and the highly precise and extremely reliable science of Numerology, I have conclusively proven Harold Camping's claim that the rapture will take place tomorrow at 6pm...

First, we convert the word May to numbers and then add them to the numbers of the date...

M,A,Y = 13, 1, 25

13+1+25 = 39

39+21+2011 = 2071

and then add the time (US standard)...

2071 + 6 = 2077

Next, we convert the letters in the title and the author's name to numbers and then add them together...

The = 33

Very = 70

Hungry = 93

Caterpillar = 115

Eric = 35

Carle = 39

33+70+93+115+35+39 = 385

We then do the same for the word "rapture"...

Rapture = 90

Adding 385 and 90, we get 475

Now, we crack open the book and we see that the very hungry caterpillar (obviously an allusion to a true believer) ate through a total of 16 unique items:

1 apple

2 pears

3 plums

4 strawberries

5 oranges

1 piece of cake

1 ice-cream cone

1 pickle

1 slice of Swiss cheese

1 slice of salami

1 lollipop

1 piece of cherry pie

1 sausage

1 cupcake

1 slice of watermelon

and 1 nice green leaf

Adding that to 475, we get 491

In total, we see that he sampled a total of 23 individual items...

491 + 23 = 514

If we then multiply 514 by the number of the words in the book's title, 4, we get 2056

The story takes place over the course of about 3 weeks (one week of eating and about 2 weeks of, erm, pupating) for a total of 21 days.   

2056 + 21 = 2077, which, as we saw at the beginnig, corresponds with May 21, 2011, 6pm

Thus is it written...
