Did a supernova two million years ago brighten the night sky and give our ancestors cancer?

Millions of years ago, a series of nearby supernovae sent radiation and debris raining down to Earth.

The events left traces of radioactive iron-60 embedded in the sea floor and even on the Moon, and now, researchers are saying they may have had life-altering effects on the early inhabitants of our planet.

At just hundreds of light-years away, two major stellar explosions may have spurred changes to the environment, and even increased the rates of cancer and mutation.

Blah blah useless crap. Now it is not even about global threats but threats from different stars? How about focusing on threats from THIS country like enormous gubmint debt.

The ancients used to build many underground cities.

No. It was the coal fired power plants or cigarettes. Sheesh. It doesn’t have to be that hard. :>)

[wastoute]

Definitely Bush’s fault.

If it lasts more than four hours, call a medicine man.

[TigersEye]

And more importantly; is there a class action lawsuit I can get in on for my poor ancestors?

Medical practice was tough back then, everything was cured with a whack from a stick or large bone. Ouch.

[samtheman]

Women and minorities were hardest hit.

Home is calling me...

[golux]

As an expert on the subject I suggest raising taxes.

[Larry Lucido]

Yeah, my two million-year-old uncle Thag won’t shut up about it.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Um . . . no.

Because the universe was created ex nihilo some 5776 years ago.

Supernova Tax
Globull Warming Tax
But no taxing Muslims for the actual threat they pose.

Makes sense.

[Utilizer]

And did the light from that event just happen to illuminate the night sky over Bethlehem... say, about 2000 years ago?

Enquiring minds want to know! (takes tongue firmly out of cheek).

[fieldmarshaldj]

*ping*

[SkyDancer]

No, it caused idiots to go around screaming climate change and global warming; no peanut butter at Walmart.

Zathras has been very busy so don’t blame Great Machine

“Some day you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky”

[rickmichaels]

Yes, of course.
