#1 It would be nice if someone put up a brown dwarf way out here in the sticks; I'm tired of having to drive all the way to Alpha Centauri to get my nonesuch dioxide out of the photosphere of Proxima.

#4 Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.

#6 "The brown dwarf - up to five times the size of Jupiter - could be to blame for mass extinctions that occur here every 26 million years."

Sounds just like something someone in the family deposited in the toilet that wouldnt go away on Sunday.

Suprisingly noone would admit to it .

Eerie similarities in the article and fact !

#9 remoteman: I knew a few would get it, but I was curious who'd be the first to note it.

And I'm officially jealous! I'll have to check for that show on archive.org in the near future. I have to wait till June to see them, but I'll be taking my kids who are big fans too.

#11 THe PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US, FUTURE OWG-NWO which the "powers that be" seemingly won't confirm or deny intentionally promoting is more at risk from THEIR OWN PERT(S) MATH, MODULAR MISKLAKULATIONS = ERRORS AS PER COMET APOPHIS 2029-2036 + ASSORTED 1990's RUSSIA-DISCOVERED SPACE ROCKS + SOLAR PHENOMENAE.

Once again, to paraph a CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE GENERAL > "UNION/YANKEE GENERAL MCLELLAN MAY HAD BROUGHT THE MIGHTY, SUPER-DUPER SIZED,SEEMINGLY IVINCIBLE GRAND/GREAT ARMY OF THE POTOMAC TO THE FIELD OF BATTLE, BUT HE ALSO BROUGHT HIMSELF".

When I was in the service, we stopped SOviets + aligned dead in thier tracks all around the World - now that I'm not, MSM-NET > Communism + Socialism-Govtism is taking over America.

NATIONAL-GLOBAL REGRESSIONISM > OWG Mighty USSA versus OWG Weak US Republiks of Amerika Global SSR.

"SOVIET AMERIKA" OWG SCENARIO > WILL A ECON, GEOPOL TRUBLED AMERICA = AMERIKA, + ANY DESIRED OWG-NWO + CWO-SWO, HAVE THE POLITICAL PRIORITIES + UNIFIED CONSENSUS, ETC. TO HAVE THE POTENT ECONOMY + CORRECT MATH + FIREPOWER, ETC. TO EFFECTIVELY STOP BOTH EARTH-, SPACE-BASED THREATS TO THE NEW GLOBAL ORDER???

The Cold War USSR had highly trained, profesional, top-notch US-World recognized Perts whom in the end were NOT able to save their own Country + CCCP, etc. System from itself.
