It's NOT The End of the World As We Know It. Again.

It's another strikeout for Bay Area preacher Harold Camping, whose revised prediction that October 21, 2011 would be the rapture has failed to prove true.

The 90-year-old prophet (or false prophet, as some claim) has been keeping a low profile since suffering a stroke a few months ago. He retired as a host on Family Radio, and hedged his October 21 prediction with words such as "likely" and "maybe," after the no-show humiliation of May 21, 2011.

So how is Camping taking the non-end of the world today? According to MSNBC:

Camping himself had little to say when he answered the door of his home in Alameda, wearing a bathrobe and leaning on a walker. "We're not having a conversation," he told a Reuters reporter, shaking his head with a chuckle. "There's nothing to report here."

Proceed as usual, guys. If you're looking for a new doomsday prediction to subscribe to, though, there's a group prepping for a December 21, 2012 end of days.

    There's still time left in the day. This is just the calm before the earth-ending apocalypse.
