It hit here on December 27th. When do you suppose it left "there?"

About 50,000 years ago.

I can handle some questions without help. But even in this case, it's good to have expert support.

It appears this object was only 6 degrees from the sun when the event occurred. The sun was in Sagittarius on December 27. Even if the object may have had a visual magnitude equal to that of the full moon, it is unlikely that few if any people would have noticed it.

I just noticed that this is the 250th thread I've posted. I assume there were others that aren't included in that number, because several were lost during the Luddite War.

So, are you bragging or complaining?

Well, as the initiator of several threads, I've had a great many people posting messages to me saying "Bush did it." I'm beginning to think he's the Intelligent Designer.

High-energy particle wave ping. Was my failure to properly digest what I ate before Dec 27 caused by this? I remember having the poopies and fever the day before.
