As our Faith & Reason blogger Cathy Lynn Grossman noted, Saturday's talk
of the end ofthe world turned into 'Apocalypse No' and a day of jokes as opposed to judgment.
But before we were all spared from the Rapture, Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman told his Twitter followers on Friday he was going to be armed and dangerous saying, "Just incase anything fishy happens tomorrow I bought a few more guns." He even included links to three photos to prove he meant business.
Later, he responded to one his followers by saying the guns were for "home protection."
Turns out, Kaman was in on the joke too. On Saturday, he took to Twitter again saying "Ok, all kidding aside, no rapture is happening ..."
Perhaps he was just looking for a reason to add to his apparently impressive weapon and explosive device collection. Here's a 2009 video of Kaman firing shots from a large .50 caliber rifle at an old Ford Taurus.
A July 2010 video of Kaman lighting off $10,000 worth of fireworks in Michigan was taken down. But before that, the company that produced the video said "(Kaman is) basically the Ted Nugent of the NBA."
