Prepare for the Pole Shift! Forget March 8. These guys have a lot to say about the coming pole shift, triggered by the passing of Planet X through our solar system.

On the plus side, the ensuing cataclysm should solve whether we go to war with Iraq or not.

The pole shift will set off worldwide cataclysms - massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and hurricane force winds. Also, it will ruin all the compasses and maps.

Badastronomy.com has a whole section about this, actually (Plep just got to it first). Well worth reading.

so it seems that the persons at the mountainsub.com site are going to release the news about their "ark" one month before the poles shift and we all die a horrible death, huh. those guys should get together and put together a new website. fascinating. so what's the deal with the 8march site now anyway. it's not seeming to be promoting anything fake, just the photos or whatever. what's their deal at this point?

Also, it will ruin all the compasses and maps. Not to mention homing pigeons.

Not to mention homing pigeons. And what about Santa? He'll have to move. so what's the deal with the 8march site now anyway? I'm too frickin' lazy to dig up the link, but the guy who put together 8March admitted awhile ago that it was just a piece of fiction he was working on and not affiliated with any product or crazy theory.

Actually here's the disclaimer, which I could swear used to be a lot longer.

Bummer! I'll have to repoint my satellite dishes... again. :-( I like this nutjob story though... it looks like fun! Plus my toilets will start flushing the other way around!

so technically your satellite dishes point the same way, it's just not called southwest anymore, if you're using DirecTV in the States. Fascinating. To be honest, I had read the "longer" march8 disclaimer, and I totally got thrown off by that, which surprised me. It still seems like he was just saying that he was trying to lay some annoying tracks and that was what the "fiction" was... But who knows. I digress.

I, for one, welcome our new pole-shifting overlords from Planet X.

OT: Anybody ever read Sailor Song by Ken Kesey? Part of the plot revolves around the idea of a polar shift. Great book, really, worth a read. /OT hey! I made a funny!

I think NASA should rename 'Planet X' to 'Big Ass Pole Shifting Accession Planet' or 'BAPSAP'

That's just friggin great........Pole Shift and no time to prepare. What next, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? The Tribulation? ..........The blind, mad God Azathoth coming down and squatting in Times Square and friggin' ululating or something?.........I've had JUST ABOUT ENOUGH of these %$#% augurs of DOOM......... By the way, did anyone notice that little GIF down near the bottom of Jeremy's page, on the left, the one that depicts a GIANT RED CROSS floating in the sky?

The "About the author" page in the first link starts with the sentence: "Jeremy Rogers is a single 32 year old English computer consultant who lives in south east London. " Now who, I say who, would have guessed ...

Not to mention homing pigeons. Actually, as far as I know, the mechanism by which pigeons home is still unknown.

But, but ... the Zetatalk website displays a .gif proclaiming that it is among the Top 5% of All Web Sites, an honor bestowed upon them by the legendary Point.com! Why, it must all be true, then!
