My one and only chance to dunk the basketball I'm thinking.....

[AlmaKing]

I won’t feel so fat.

I’m no astrophysicist, but I’m guessing he forgot a decimal point in there!

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo hooooo...

[entropy12]

Will that affect “Biggest losers” contest?

[jjotto]

Jupiter is something like 300 times the size of the earth. Pluto is about one-fifth as large as our MOON.

Someone’s calculator has too many digits, and they have too much spare time...

The Sun has 99.86% of the mass of the solar system. These planets can do what ever they want and it will have NO effect. The sun could extrude a very, very, VERY minor solar flare, which by the way, it does quite regularly, and the mass produced would dwarf these two planets.

This is baloney.

0.3 seconds!?

[faithhopecharity]

Pluto’s gravitational effect on earth is however very small. Mass small. Distance very very large.

[winoneforthegipper]

LOL...it’s been snoped.....lol

[DManA]

I seem to recall some years ago ALL the planets lined up. As I recalled nothing happened.

Good time for “candidates” Huckabee and Christie to jump on the scales and tout their fitness....

[BenLurkin]

Pluto is a LONG way away.

[saganite]

I think there’s a decimal point missing on that three seconds. Not to mention a few zeros to the right of the decimal I’m guessing.

But the Chinese at 947pm will not be able to move a muscle for .3 second

The doctor is going to question me about my eating habits and my weight loss!

“10. Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity

In 1976 the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth’s own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.”

BUT if you jump in the air at 9:47AM local time on January 4th 2014, it should take you about 3 seconds to land back on your feet instead of the usual 0.2

my vertical leap is measured in sheets of paper. I can't wait to experience a 3 second hang time.

So Lindsey Graham will be even lighter in the loafers for a moment?

Then you have no chance. The article is 100% horsesh7t.
