You smelled brimstone and heard a shriek flying through the nighttime sky?
That was Hillary.
Keep garlic handy, and don't go outside without a large wooden cross.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

If the sky is falling and it is TEOTWAWKI I would not want to deal with them in a snit demanding fresh litter. My cats have their priorities.

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Man, that is a freight car of lame observation and science. The very least the loser who gathered up that tripe could do is read Lucifers Hammer for some creative inspiration.

"If you use the High Accuracy Ephemeris Generator.... the AU goes down to 0.01115 on 16 May 2004."

You are misreading the table. The closest approach (was) 1 May 2004, when the "r" (not "rdot") was 0.003499 relative to Earth in AU. "r" is the distance; "rdot" is the rate of change of distance.

Since it did not hit us yesterday, we can be fairly sure we'll be safe on 5/16/04.

May heaven save us from people who misread scientific data!

Direct some of those meteors towards strategic locations in Cuba, Zimbabwe,Israel,etc.

[Axenolith]

Wouldn't surprise me if some DU types were actually running the page with stuff like this on it...

I for one do not tend to dismiss the actions of nature, or it's potential. There are too many variables and we are only mere observers at the heavens trying to understand.

Let's see if the events timetable starts to show some validity, then I will angle towards survival mode.

LOL whoops wrong thread. They DO have a thread about meteors but for some reason I filched the thread about the photographs. Oh well.

I'll empty a tall beer or bottle of wine on his grave for ya, if ya permit me to pass it through my kidneys first. [BTW, the line will be long attending sinkEmperor's gave watering, if you get my drift.]

A countdown that stops at 0.01 ... only people who believe in God can understand what this means.

[PokeyJoe]

well, to be accurate - I wasn't misreading the data, just the table.

At least you had the guts to actually run the same analysis that I did.

Thanks for the correction anyhow.

And May 16 that's the day where the tail of T7 is expected to affect the Earth.
