>>> Do you have a link to that excerpt you posted? Looks like it might be from Wiki.

Correct, copied and posted by me on a similar Betelgeuse thread last July.

Doesn't the Bible tell us that there will be signs in the heavens that people will be fearful ?
Also ? does the Bible tell us of 1 or 2 star like things that hits the earth ? Wormwood.
Don't get me wrong, Belegeuse won't hit the earth in anyway, but, was there 1 or 2 ?

The GOD of Israel is showing his mighty wonders !

Soon, many of us will start receiving that Mars e-mail again which claims that, in August, Mars will be making a close approach to Earth and appear as large as the full moon. Truth is, Mars and Earth do not have a close approach every August, but rather every approximate 26-27 months, for that is how long it takes Earth to catch up to Mars along our inner track (think of the solar system as a circular race track with Earth being in ‘lane 3’ and Mars ‘lane 4’ — one Mars year is about 20 months). In any case, no matter close the ‘close approach’, Mars will only look like a very bright orange or gold star. The last such close approach occurred this past January 2010. And so the next won’t be until March or April, 2012.

Daylight savings gives us more sunshine? Wow, the power of congress is amazing.

To think of all the useless worrying about global warming, when all Congress needs to do is to abolish daylight saving time and the reduced amount of sunshine would probably take care of the problem.

The universe cannot end because we are controlled by a supreme diety with big ears who is a smoker.

The way the USA is going and the hopeless morons who support Hussein by being TV viewers leads me to not care at this point. People trade their liberty for NCAA ball games. Morons.

Bring it on BeetleJuice. Get it over with.

Technically, it went supernova 520 years ago.

That's IF it's showing up as a super nova now. It isn't.

Well if it blows or if it already has blown then hopefully it will be earlier in the usurper’s fraudulent admin so we can get the misery over sooner than later.

At least if we are vaporized then we do not have to look at his spousal wookie anymore.

AMC also had a hard time with their “Matador,” so I’m told.
