In a previous thread there was mention of a prophesied (Nostradamus) nuclear attack (perhaps N. Korea) during the July-September window. I believe his quatrain actually refers to a comet (with accompanying hidden astroids in the tail). There happens to be a comet discovered in April 1999 which will be crossing Earth's orbit during this time frame. Please see the links listed below. If this situation comes to pass, Y2K will be a "non-event" in comparison.

If Space Aliens kill us all next month, y2k will be a non-event.

Can't argue with that, I guess.

How does one prepare for a comet - other than bending over and kissing your ass good-bye?

well rick....some of us would put some lip gloss on first.

Yes, and maybe a little blusher.

The closest the comet will come to the Earth is about 77 million miles (the Sun is 93 million miles from Earth) at the end of September 1999. An orbital diagram is posted below...see for yourself.

Brenda ; Have you forgotten the the date 5/5/2000 as far as the aligment of at least 7 planets and I believe we are behind the Sun,at that time??? Or have you forgotten the Mayan prophecy of Dec 21,2012 ??? Need to understand we are on the only watering hole in the Milky Way,and if you look from out there to here ,we're small !!! So Y2K is nothing compared to the Universal Clock.

I want to believe your right Wright.

The problem is those last three letters in treadings' URL =(gov). I went there last night for a while as well as some other sites. I could get no *fix* on the plight plan of this joker out of pans box.

The local news reported a scientist as stating the unpredictability of Lees flight as a source of possible concern. The story gave some credence to the possibility of heightened quake activity, solar CME's and other anomalies. The question of the recent CME described as a *planet buster* (NOT PLANET KILLER), and the ?coincidental Mexico quake, give at least the semblance of noteworthyness, and further 'gazing' will be in the cards.

So far I'm holdin a full house, how 'bout you?

How to prepare for an impact:

10 years of food. Lots of nitrogen packed seeds. Rural Real Estate. Deep Bunker, Steel and Concrete. Fully Automatic Weapons.

And dont forget luck. And my new best seller "1001 Gourmet Dishes Du Cockroach"

Well the house is stocked pretty good, but I think I'll go with NASA on this one.
