h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First of all... Happy New Year!!! Lets Hope the next century ahead is better than the last! Although lots of good things happened in the past 100 years and indeed the last 1000 years. I believe that the future holds a great deal of good things for humankind.

I have returned from my lunch break which went for about 2 weeks. It was very nice!

Yes, only a couple more apocalyptic dates to go! But it's hard to judge time spans that long. Decades can be judged as most would agree the 1980s were...err...(how can one describe them without using an obscenity). Well, let's see what happens in May.

What's going to happen in May?

Most the planets will align in a near-straight line and nearly all of them (and the moon and sun) will be on the same side of the Earth. They say this unbalanced gravity will cause real severe gales, floods, tidal waves, earthquakes - you name it. People are going to high points on the continents to be safe. Oh well, we'll soon see how much gravity affects us from that far away.

Heavy Man!
That's pretty full on.... Are you sure you have your astrological information correct? I will look into this!

This isn't astrological (sorry, but I don't bother myself with that crap. I mean, are these big balls of gas really there to predict what will occur in our love lives?!?). This is an actual astronomical event. Look for NASA pics of around 05/05/2000. It is a fact that the planets will be nearly lined up and nearly all on one side of the Earth. Question is, will we just not see the other planets while they're being eclipsed by the moon/sun or will there be cataclysmic events?

Whoops! I meant Astronomical..... I need more sleep!
I will check out the NASA site...
