>Endtimers have been around since the death of Christ. They always manage to convince a certain type of people and get some notoriety, but they've been wrong time and time again. I suppose someone may be right eventually, but it will just be luck.

IIRC, there was a police inspector in "12 chairs" by Ilf & Petrov, who has never solved a case. But he said that that only raises the probability that he will solve the next one.

BTW, I like the way the phrase "time and time again" asserts the belief in the cyclical nature of Universe.
