#1 Most natural disasters have nothing to do with the moon at all.

Except for that very first ooops. Well alleged ooops.

#4 I'm soooo glad I didn't plan on retiring. Now I don't have to live out my golden years working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.

#9 ABC jumps on the bandwagon.

Hey, *I* was gonna make that joke. But I decided it was both stupid and in poor taste. But then I'm not a journalist, praise $DEITY.

#10 It's interesting that the more scientific proponents of this theory note that these earthquakes don't happen when the Moon is closest to Earth, but in a window of several days on either side of that time.

However, if you take that complete time frame, as a week or more, and apply it across any group of days in a year, you will probably start to note an imaginary correlation.

#11 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [USGS Geophysicist John Bellini] "SUPERMOON" DID NOT CAUSE [Sendai = East Japan]JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE + TSUNAMI.

LUNAR PERIGEE = "MOONAGEDDON" not supposed to occur 03/19th, not 03/11th.

HMMMMM, HMMMMM, so-o-o IOW, COMET APOHIS 2029/30-2036, + other Russian-discovered Space Rocks, is still in the running for the RACE TOWARDS MOONAGEDDON.

We missed our QUANTUM + SPACE CALCULUS OWG-STANDARDIZED MATH EXAMS back in 2024, didn't we???

Or twas it 2027 - don't remember anything after CANCUN SPRING BREAK ???

["STARSHIP TROOPERS" CHARLIZE "CHILI" THERON here].

#12 Iff the 1990's-2005 NET is any measure, I suspect we will still be getting PCorrect-Deniable, "Cannot confirm or Deny", official "NO COMMENT" from NASA-JPL, ETC. whether APOPHIS slams into the Moon or not.

D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, DIDN'T THE COLD WAR TEACH YOU ANYTHING, ALWAYS "TRUST THE RUSSIANS/SOVIETS" - NOT OUR OWN US GOVT. - WHEN IT COMES TO INCOMING SPACE ROCKS + INVADING SPACE BUGS!
