Taiwan doomsday prophet's blog sparks panic

Police in Taiwan are investigating a self-proclaimed prophet whose doomsday warnings on a blog have caused panic.

The man, identifying himself as Teacher Wang, said Taiwan would be struck by a magnitude-14 earthquake and 170m (560ft) high tsunami on 11 May.

More than 100 cargo containers have been bought and set up in a mountainous area of central Taiwan.

Police said they were investigating if the blogger had conspired with a container business to defraud people.

"Teacher Wang" suggested people live in such containers to survive the disaster, which he said would kill millions of people and split the island in half.

"Teach yer Wang?" There's a name designed to get you laughed out of any English speaking nation.

I've already ordered a doomsday box for 2012, I ain't buying another.

Damn, wish I thought of that idea. Bet some our TV preachers will catch on to some of these schemes for 2012.

Saran Palin said there would be a mass rush in Alaska during the tribulation, because of location and christians today need to prepare to accept them.. Bet she has a hidden ebay site.."Get yout tribulation Alaska survival package cheap now."

Yea, Palin for president..
