Harold Camping, president of US Christian network Family Radio, has long predicted that the Rapture would take place on Saturday 21st May, starting in New Zealand at 6pm local time.
But with an absence of major disasters or sudden mass disappearances and with churches this morning as full as ever, leading critics, athiests and general disaffected persons were quick to pour derision on Mr Camping and his followers, who were certain he was right this time, his failed 1994 prediction being put down to his poor grasp of maths.
This morning, however, photohgraphic evidence emerged that the Rapture may indeed have taklen place, just not as anyone expected. Four reknowned Auckland plankers, all Christians, disappeared just as a photo was being taken of them lying face down on a city sidewalk at 6.01pm yesterday.
Harold Camping isn't sure whether to feel vindicated or not. "I don't understand it. I really don't. I mean, why would the good Lord take these complete idiots, who share a braincell between them on a rostered basis, and leave us sensible, faithfull believers behind? I mean, seriously? Plankers?"
