simplyputsi 0 #1 April 16, 2008 but I'm also gonna change the odds from 1 in 45,000 to 1 in 450. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080415/sc_afp/spaceastronomygermany_080415214429 This story seems to have made it under the radar from when it was first announced. Now some 13 year old is saying hey, you're wrong. 1 in 450 thems be pretty good odds for a lot of things.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #4 April 16, 2008 And I was thinking 1 in 45,000 was cause for concern, maybe I start digging my hole 6 miles down now. Maybe I'll hit some oil on the way Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baksteen 84 #7 April 16, 2008 Ah well - 49 is a beautiful age. I'll have to make sure that i spend my last hard earned cent on April 13 2029 as it won't do me much good on april 14. And if the little basterd turns out to be wrong I'll simply sue him for all he's worth.

riddler 0 #8 April 16, 2008 The old link is bad, so here's a new one: http://www.physorg.com/news127499715.html 1:450 is a long shot, I won't start planning for the apocalypse just yet. It's more likely that we'll kill the human race over the next several decades through our own negligence. Edit to fix clicky.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

lawrocket 3 #9 April 16, 2008 There seems to be some controversy over this. It appears that NASA is controverting the reports. http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=25232 My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplyputsi 0 #12 April 17, 2008 Yup, it appears we have been duped!!!!! Or so they say. hmmmmmmm should we really believe NASA. I mean after all they are the ones tricking everybody into believing the earth is round. What they are saying the that chance is still 1 in 45,000. I dunno, I don't like them odds when it comes to the existence of well everything. We'll probably be living on the Moon or Mars by then anyway huh?Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
