Mayor Bloomberg morphed into David Letterman this morning to poke fun at the notion that the world might end tomorrow.
With time running short, the mayor on his weekly radio show produced a Top 5 list on what the impact might be of the end of civilization on New York City.
Bloomberg said:
5. “We’ve heard this before in New York, that it’s the end of the world and we showed it wasn’t true. This time, I assume will not be any different. Of course, if it does end tomorrow how would you know?

4. “Think about it. If the world were to end tomorrow it would fix our traffic problems.”
3. “The world cannot end tomorrow. You know why? It can’t end at least until the Knicks win a championship again. We’ve got a long time to go.”
2. “If the world ends tomorrow I don’t think you have to worry about returning library books, parking tickets…”
And the No. 1 fallout if it’s really doomsday:
1. “If the world does end tomorrow alternate side parking will be suspended. Although I think alternate side parking will take on a whole different meaning, actually.”
Harold Camping, an 89-year-old Christian leader who owns one of the largest Christian radio networks in the country, has predicted that the end of the world will take place tomorrow.
The Rapture is the belief that Jesus will bring the faithful into paradise prior to a period of tribulation on earth that precedes the end of the world.
