A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years ago 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 toward Earth.
Fossil evidence has suggested most life on Earth is mysteriously wiped out every 26 million to 27 million years.

maybe rinsed primus should consider trying to nominate Tsoukalos for our entertainment pleasure...
Just funning with you...
That would be *epic*.
As far as the internecine wars go, this too, shall pass.

Golden Earing! Excellent reference. Now you got me thinking about my Holley carb. I’m recalling 640 passive... ah, a distant memory...
When [not if] I get a speeding ticket, Radar Love will no doubt have been the cause.

There’s something wrong with my throttle hand...*bum, bum, BUM, bum, BUM, bum....* and it just spasms downward, uncontrollably.

There is the guy who claimed the Himalayas would be melted by 2016.. He claims it was a decimal error.. My undergrad chem prof would have flunked decimal dude. But maybe, the rest of the Mayan calendar is on that planet.
>> Carmina Burana; O Fortuna!
Apologies for overlooking your Carmina Burana reference. Your mention of Pat Travers took me elsewhere.
An excellent piece by Carl Orff. I have a Deutsche Grammaphon collection that opens with Carmina Buran. Love it.
BTW, Pat Travers IS touring in the northeast. Gotta make the time for that.
