        (Don't be an ass and flame me for not getting the information completely correct down to the last syllable.)

    Not to flame, but "we" are not an ass.

    We are asses.

    That, at least, should be correct, yes?

    Wasn't this Planet X/Nibiru/Zetatalk that was supposed to pass close to the earth due to its long, elliptical orbit causing a "polar shift" resulting in the death of billions? Just because they talk about it on the Coast to Coast radio show doesn't mean it is real :-P

    supposed pics:

    I agree kab, the Hubble telescope has taught us more scientifically than any other tool ever used. They were scheduled (after the shuttle explosion) to send a repair team to work on it in 2006, to repair things like the gyroscopes to point the darn thing (it reguires at leats 3 of the 6 to be operated, and 2 have already quite working). Unfortunatly with all the ferver goning on over Mars right now, the true work horses (the few items at NASA that actually work) get passed over.

    other than that they need big drilling machines too. After all, we know there is oil down there somewhere



    Edit: kab, can i borrow your sarcasm tags for a while?

    Hehe, don&#39;t tell America you have oil, and don&#39;t let the UK fish in your waters, hehe.

    Bonus points to the historian who knows what i am refering to about the UK.
