Added notes on "atheists discredited" deadline

My earlier entry The "atheists discredited" deadline hath come! was picked up by the 800-lb Pharyngula blog on February 17, in the post SOP for prophets. That mention brought a mighty spike of visitors, a nice handful or two of comments, and lots of discussion back on the Pharyngula page.

For whatever reason, though, I was unable to leave a comment myself on that page, despite three attempts. Maybe it was some oddity on my side; on the other hand, that heavily-trafficked site is known to choke on bugs once in a while. In any case, the comments I wanted to leave on that page are as follows:

First, thanks to the many people who visited my article; I was wondering where all the hits were coming from.

(FWIW, the site didn't crash [much], so perhaps the terms "slashdotted" and "dugg" aren't quite yet about to be joined by "PZed". But soon, I think. Better get a term ready. Maybe "Pharyngulated?")

The article had a broken (now fixed) link to a site with the original John A Davison quote; that link should have been

http://john.a.davison.free.fr/?p=17#comment-260

Also, in response to invective from a few Pharyngua commenters, let me note that it's not my intention to call Mr Davison nasty things; it's my understanding that he's more harmless crank than some dishonest theist with actual influence. I only wanted to point out that his prediction was wrong.

As comment #38 noted, I do have to give the man a small tip o' the hat for actually making a testable prediction, with a date attached! I would love to gather any such testable predictions - Armageddons, Raptures, Ragnaroks, whatever ya got - and put them on a calendar for verification. After all, when predictions fizzle, those behind the failure are counting on nobody checking the results! Let's not let good predictions go to waste like that!

Any other would-be oracles out there have prophecies we can track?
