Don’t worry. I have a big project due next month and the boss says the only way the deadline gets extended is if the earth blows up.

The earth ain’t blowing up.

If a mysterious planet wipes out life on Earth this month, that is really gonna piss off the climate change fanatics.

We couldn’t possibly be this lucky. Nah, we’re gonna have to watch this entire B-film of an election year play out, miserable day by miserable day. And I thought the Obama years were a nightmare.

Maybe I’ll go ahead and put that brand new Guzzi Eldorado on payments and be in the wind when it hits.

I mean I’ll be in the wind anyway, but this way I’ll be ~Stylin’~!

No, it’s “women, gays, minorities, and transgenders hardest hit”.

Thanks wastedyears.
A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years could do it again, according to a top space scientist. And some believe the apocalyptic event could happen as early as THIS MONTH. Planet Nine -- a new planet discovered at the edge of the solar system in January -- has triggered comet showers that bomb the Earth's surface, killing all life, says Daniel Whitmire, of the University of Louisiana. The astrophysicist says the planet has a 20,000-year orbit around the sun and, at its closest to us, it knocks asteroids and comets towards Earth. Fossil evidence has suggested most of life on Earth is mysteriously wiped out every 26 to 27 million years. Professor Whitmire claims Planet Nine's passage through a rock laden area called the Kuiper Belt is responsible for the "extinction events". Consiracy theorists in the 80s and 90s previously claimed a red dwarf planet called Nibiru or Nemesis, which orbits too close to Earth every 36,000 years, was behind the events. Now some are convinced there will be a collision or a near miss before the end of April. Nemesis or Nibiru were widely dismissed as crack-pot pseudo-science -- until Planet Nine was identified in January by the California Institute of Technology, in the US.
The late Z. Sitchin started making the unsubstantiated claim that a planet Nibiru rolled through the inner solar system every 3,600 (not 36,000) years, wreaked no physical havok (pretty good, for a careening out-of-control planet-sized body), and that was the most plausible part of his drivel. It was entirely his invention -- there is nothing in any of the surviving cuneiform tablets about it, he just made it all up. Furthermore, the orbital characteristics he gave are contrary to Kepler's Laws of planetary motion, so, in short, Sitchin was and still is full of crap.

Whitmire didn't claim that a planet, or a bunch of comets loosed by a planet, would be hurtling at Earth as early as this month. That's just more tabloid nonsense. Click the Daniel Whitmire keyword link above and visit some actual news-based topics already posted on FR. And thanks again, this was pretty entertaining!

I suspect this theory originated from Uranus

Well, definitely not from Myanus but certainly from someone's!

Oops! Must be careful here. Don't want to be prosecuted under RICO for being a "total destruction of da Erf" denier, y'know!

Now that I mentioned it, Myanus is a pretty good name for this neo-ninth planet. Has a sort of "indigenous peoples" ring to it.
