Despite the warnings, in Manila today life seemed to go on.

Earthquakes of unprecedented magnitude? No.

Headlines about disasters in places where day has already turned into night? , no and .

Any reports that Judgment Day arrived? No.

So, it looks like The Rapture that evangelical radio broadcaster Harold Camping said would begin at 2 a.m. ET today and that lots of hasn't happened.

Of course, we did sleep in a bit. Maybe we just missed it.

Camping's website hasn't updated the news, by the way.

Update at 7:30 a.m., May 22: Still no word from Camping about what didn't happen.
