Aug. 21 - While no extra safeguards are in place, U.S. law enforcement are not ignoring the possible significance of tomorrow's date, August 22, a date that marks an important historic event on the Islamic calendar.
Internet websites have been full of speculation that it could be a target date for terrorists in commemoration of the return of the 12th imam, a supposed day of reckoning for Shiites.

....
This year, August 22 marks the holy day on the Islamic calendar that is the day of reckoning for Shiites. Some Shiite sects believe that August 22 could correspond to the end of the world. And just today, after much hype, Iran has announced that it will continue to develop its nuclear program.

on his back. He had on sandals. Does that qualify?

5. These Christian Shiites are going to be disappointed

if Jesus doesn't show up

6. Actually he's being held up

the Bodhisattva are having a "discussion" with him, and they have better and more acceptable (to Islam) stuff then beer.

7. Was it August 22, 2006?

or was it just some random August 22 in history?

10. The 12th ipod is 2006 based on this math:

8-22-2006 = 8+4+8 = 20.

"Then subtract 8 days for the hebrew god whose ark it is and you get 12" (a slightly modified quote from raiders of the lost ark)....12th ipod. Err Imus. Err whatever

9. Where is he supposed to show up?

If he's coming to LA, he's probably caught in traffic.
