Hybrid Eclipse 2005... figured that was some kind of high gas milage car.

[T. P. Pole]

Jeeze, I thought this was about a car.

[CATravelAgent]

I thought fersure this was going to be about the latest fuel efficient Mitsubishi

As my beloved late father used to reply to my questions regarding; "What's it all mean, Dad? He would softly and wisely reply; "What do you want it mean, Buck".

...the vertex of the Moon’s umbral shadow pierces Earth’s surface ...

Suggestive writing style.

Christ could come today. Yeppers. He could.

And pigs could fly. But don't bet the family jewels on pork belly prices rising because pigs will fly.

From what I remember from Old and New Testaments, it is not given to man either to know or to predict the actions of God.

Somehow, I seem to remember that we were commanded to obey a simple set of commandments. Always. Not just when "End Times" are expected.

Sigh! Looks like I still have to keep on struggling to keep the Commandment. No rest for the weary.

[Laura Earl]

Terry -

Your first 10 days as a freeper have been pretty busy posting your thoughts with minimal response. This is already your most commented on thread.

Because we thought it was about a car.

[EA_Man]

Matthew 24:36

“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

Jesus said no one knows that day or hour. What makes you think that you know?

[Blzbba]

".and the stars will fall from the sky, "


Since I'm supposed to take this quote literally, I have to agree that if a star literally falls from the sky, we'll be witness to the 'end times'...and they'll be hot.

Of course, it would melt both polar ice caps, flooding large portions of the world before the star 'falls' to earth, thus going against God's alleged promise not to flood the world again.

It's a real pitty that all those prior eclipses, both hybrid and conventional, went to waste with no significant political event occurring around their appearance.

[chapin2500]

“A hybrid eclipse is a unique type of central eclipse where parts of the path are annular while other parts are total."

I'd buy this car if the parts are TOTALy cheap.


P.S. No MAN can predict the end.
