I'm hearing predictions that 2010, an comet will soon hit earth. That time I'll be 18. I'm really worried right now.

Then the next topic, June 6, 2006 = 666? The days where Satan or something bad will happen? What if 6/6/06 is one week from Friday the 13th?

Well? Help!

ROFL, I love a good conspiracy to laugh at

well, are they true.. are do they still become a scientific question?

Haven't heard this....what's this alleged comet's name?

If a comet is going to hit Earth, we would hear of it from everywhere. I mean, the end of the world as we know it is pretty important to not report, right? Why don't we hear of plans to destroy it? Why are we not building shelters to try and survive it? Stockpiling food? My guess: it isn't true.

nothing of that sort is going to happen.

Why would they report it if everyone is going to die anyway? I hope it happens soon.

What about June 6, 6 A.D.? OR June 6, 1906? Or maybe even June 6, 1806


however I find this funny, I was talking over June 6, 2006 this morning with my friends before my promotion...

Bullshit. All of it. 6/6/06 is a damned date, Satan is mere biblical nonsense, and can't be proven to exist. As for the commet, as FluffyWuffy said, if it were true, we'd all hear about it. Don't sweat it kid.

Actually, that isn't exactly true. Most astronomers will tell you that if an asteroid were to hit Earth, we probably wouldn't know about it until it was too late. Most asteroids that have been close calls were only detected after they passed by Earth. While I'm not sure why exactly this is, I've heard that it has something to do with the difficulty of predicting the trajectory of an asteroid that is on a straight path to our planet.

So.....more than likely...if one hits we'll not be likely to have much warning. Just poof!

Some of them we can't see because they are coming from the sun towards earth. The Astronomers call this our blind side. They are currently working on ways to detect such objects!

As for the story... I'm not believing it

Asteroids, true. But not a comet. Comets don't just sneak up on us.

However, asteroids have been spotted after near-missing us! That's kind of scary.

This... day of Satan.... Complete Bull Sh-t. Just a coinky-dink

no friday the 13th's

and yeah, comets we know about, but it's the asteroids that aren't detected in time (like there would be much we could do if we saw one coming, anyway)

Bah satan biblical bullshit.
And according to the bible 666 is the mark of the beast nothing to do with the sissy of darkness.

Oh by the way kid don't give away your age.

Actually, there is something we can do about asteroids. You see, the Apollo missions weren't really about landing on the moon. Oh sure, some people believe that the moon landing was faked and everything but NASA allows that myth to be perpetuated because they really installed a missile guidance system on the moon. It was originally supposed to be used against the Russians but once the Cold War was over NASA had to redirect the missile system elsewhere.

See, it all comes down to the Hubble telescope. The Hubble wasn't really broken when it was originally launched. It acidentally viewed the guidance system that NASA had installed and upgraded over the past several decades. So NASA had to send up a launch to "fix" the Hubble while really removing the damning photographic evidence from the source. They then installed the guidance system into the Hubble as part of the overall defense network. And we all know that Hubble was only one of 4 telescopes part of that project. What we don't really know is that they each, while possessing scientific purposes, have a greater defense purpose. If you remember earlier in the year the Hubble was slated to be abandoned but NASA finally relented to try to fix it. That was their plan all along, they just didn't want the public to realize how important it is.

Now I'm sure you have the question of why we didn't know about this. Well, the truth of the matter is that our own government doesn't even know. And while NASA's budget has been cut recently, they haven't been worried. Because NASA secretly owns all of the orange groves in Florida. The land was initially condemned back in the 30's and NASA systematically bought up the land and continued with the orange business. In fact, NASA now controls over 96% of the entire orange production of the United States.

Bottom line here is that NASA is actually the most powerful branch of government with nearly unlimited funding. Their weaponry is more advanced than even the best that the Pentagon minds have come up with and they have a nearly limitless supply of units to carry their weapons. Its also quite frightening to discover the fact that the probes NASA have sent out over the past decades to various planets have sent back samples of chemicals that NASA chemists have refined into the most toxic of biological and chemical weaponry. A mere drop of some of their most potent toxins could wipe out all of New York City.

There are rumors of course that NASA is planning to stage a coup sometime in 2008 when they finish the next generation rocket. It is likely to be a worldwide coup that may be nearly unstoppable considering the potent weapons they have at their disposal. And since they are secretly setting up the International Space Station to be their primary base of operations, an assassination attempt after they have completed their uprising would be next to impossible. Especially since they will control all of the space going vehicles.

Of course there has been a recent rebel uprising, mostly comprising former NASA scientists who refused to bend to the will of their masters. In order to stop their masters without rising too much notice, they developed the X Prize, the prize for private companies to develop space going vehicles. But in reality, these private entities are really a secret army that hopes to be able to counter the might of NASA.

Which is the very reason that each and every one of you needs to stop drinking Florida Orange Juice!!! Help the cause!

Um...could you kindly stop using drugs? :shock:

Um...could you kindly stop using drugs? :shock:

I don't touch drugs.

I'm sure they worried at 6/6/1006, just like at 6/6/2006.
As for a comet hitting the earth? I've heard enough chicken little stories to make me annoyed. A comet and asteroid are hitting the earth soon, the Mayans say the world will end by 2013, and the coming fossil fuel shortage means the collapse of industrial civilization. If any of these were true, I'd build a rocket, and live on Mars.

I don't touch drugs. It certainly seems like you do...NASA purchasing Floridian oranges in the 30s? NASA owns the government? Lunar landings a weapon guidance system? You either use drugs or are just plain crazy.

You left out the space station and the X prize.

The Estimates are that a comet that could kill billions of people strikes at a rate of a once every 1 million years (or something like that). 3B divided by 1 million is... 3000. Therefore, we should be spending as much money on comet defense as anti-terrorism.

In that case, thank heavens for NASA....or not.

Wasnt something supposed to hit us a few years ago

Wasnt something supposed to hit us a few years ago

It did....welcome to the Matrix....you'd be shocked to see what the world REALLY looks like. :shock:

The world will not end with a comet or meteorite. In the end times we will be battered by them, but our world will not end by them. Don't believe me? Read the Revelation.

if a comet hit earth big WOOP. We could still grow plants with UV lamps, we could still feed our livestock so we wouldn't go hungry. We would still have energy. As i see it human life would function just fine, its all the other animals that would die out.

Also the chances of it hitting water are greater than land so it would just result in a huge tidal wave nothing too serius, the world certaintly wouldn't end.

Also for a comet to blow up the Earth with an average speed it would have to be thousands of kilometers big.

oh and for 6/6/06 and the whole 666 thing. Stupid Christians and Catholics invented that nonsense no other religion in the world believs in a satan. Satan is just a form of control that prevents you from being urself. If you are not yourself you are resisting the Tao.

Anyways as for 6/6/06 it has an 0 in there right? Therefor it is not 666

Aren't you thriteen or something? :?

What did you get promoted to? :shock:

I'm hearing predictions that 2010, an comet will soon hit earth. That time I'll be 18. I'm really worried right now.
Well? Help!

My advice is to get laid. Hell, even if the world doesn't end, it's a good line.

Plus, iether way you wouldnt be too upset.

Possibly the Asteroid will just blow up Catholics? I mean, it's also them who made up hell and just they're going there.

As for the threat of big rocks itself: The course of a comet can't be calculated 6 years into the future. There are too many interferrences, such as the gravity of our sun, the planets, larger asteroids, other comets, moons and much more. Sure, you can try anyway, but the results you get are going to be extremely unprecise. Possibly, someone did calculate that a comet will hit us in '10, however the chance that this calculation is true is quite small. This and my fatalistic view on things tells me not to worry about things I cannot change. We can change a lot, but cosmical catastrophes are a bit too much for us, don't you think?

Funniest.

Conspiracy.

Post.

Ever.

:D

As for the actual science behind this thread (I'm not even touching the Devil's Date nonsense), where have you heard these "predictions"? The only thing I'm aware of happening in 2010 having to do with a comet is the Rosetta probe was supposed to originally rendezvous with comet Wirtanen in 2010, but that has been moved to 2011, I think. I really wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're going to sink your teeth into a good "doomsday" worry, be far more concerned about the end of the Mayan calender in 2012 (or something like that).

Bah satan biblical bullshit.
And according to the bible 666 is the mark of the beast nothing to do with the sissy of darkness.

Oh by the way kid don't give away your age.

Yeah...666 is not a date, not anything that will tell you anything about when it happens. It's just a sign to let you know that it's happening while it's happening.

Oh, and remember how everyone thought the world was gonna end in 2000? And then they thought that it was 2001? Oh, and the Mayan calender ends on december 12th I think? 2012. People thought that the Cold War was going to destroy the earth. I'm sure every time they saw an eclipse people thought the world was ending...
You people need to calm down. The world will end when it does. There is nothing you can do about that. If there is something we can do about it, then the world hasn't really ended, has it?
Stop trying to predict when the world is gonna end, and start LIVING! Hiding in your closet waiting for a comet to hit, or Satan to come, or nukes the blow the crap outta everyone is no way to go through life.

Thank heavens Berkylvania appreciated the post. I would say I put a lot of thought into it but the fact is that I had a glass of orange juice sitting on my desk and it sort of developed from that.

Well, we wouldn't exactly go "poof," per se, but the world would be pretty freaking messed up if an asteroid or comet hit... I doubt there's anything big enough in our galaxy right now that would make the Earth go "poof" anytime soon.
