A gray iguana from Djibouti?

EDIT: I guess that makes me a wise-ass!

Anyone ever play Risk 2210, and notice how Djibouti (in the future) is suddenly a huge pan-african country? Does anyone think that that's hilarious?

On a personal note, it's just fun to say Djibouti. It seems like a name ripe for puns.

I can never understand why people believe in stuff life this?

If all nine planets line up then the gravitational pull will pull the planets apart. Okay, the sun is like a few billion years old (exact age varies (like some women I know) by a few years), what are the chances that all 9 (or 8 if you believe that Pluto isn't really a planet but rather just a large rock) planets would line up at least once during say that time? Okay lets say once. The Earth is still here. Right?

A calender is not a thing the universe really follows its man's creation and man's way of telling time. Think the sun needs a holiday?

Ranger, I mean no disrespect, I just can't get over how many times I have heard things like this and we're still here, and people keep saying things like this. The planet Earth will one day be gone, and the human race will be gone too. Spend your energy on believing things like "at 1200 PST I will give blood," or "at 1600 hrs on Tuesday I will smile at someone that will need to see a smile."

You really don't want everyone to have the same old boring answer do ya??

It's May 5th, 2005. By my clock, in an hour and 45 minutes, it'll be 5:05.

05-05-05, 05:05.

I read a tabloid once that said today the world would be destroyed, because the first 5 planets of the solar system - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter - would be aligned in a row, and their combined gravity would rip the Earth apart.

Because, goodness knows, that set-up has never happened before.

Here's hoping I'll see the sun rise, at least one last time.

It'll wont be for another thousand years you'll see this again.

It'll wont be for another thousand years you'll see this again.

It will will happen next year but in June...06/06/06 06:06:06...which MAY be a bad thing.

Sorry if it came across like I believe it. I was just amused by the numerical line-up, and I wanted to share an anecdote I'd heard about it. I watched Star Trek; I got interested in astronomy and so I know that the gravity is inconsequential. It was just something funny.

Anyway, we all know that the world's going to end on April 12, 2012, just as the Mayans predicted.
