Quote - You think NASA or any government is gonna tell us we're all about to die?

Ofcoures they're not gunna tell us, but theres little you can hide when a neutron star flies through our asteroid belt :P

The Elenin article sounds like a lot of bogus to me... I checked the NASA page, but it shows the object moving through earths orbit at a considerable distance from earth.. Also i have no idea where the article gets the insane idea that it could be a neutron star.. If it was a neuron star and it was moving through the asteroid belt, we'd be fried right now from the radiation as the intense gravitational pull of the neutron star would pull asteroids crashing into its surface.

Also, a neutron star is seriously heavy, it should have considerable effect on the orbits of planets at the very least..

I also dont find the actual 'proof' in the article that the comet affects earth? Where exactly does nasa state there is a significant gravitaional pull from the comet?

I'm also still at a loss how exactly a passign comet is supposed to trigger an earth quake.. The quakes all occured at fold-lines between tectonic plates.

So unless there is something in the supplied mathematical model or even just a reasonably hypothesis of how gravity from a far away comet, combined with alignment of the sun and another planet creates movement amongst those tectonic plates, including an explaination of why this would have such a localized effect as opposed to something more global (considering the distances and the size of the gravitational fields involved)... I dont think its reasonable to assume this comet as the cause in favor of traditional theories about magma flows pushing the plates in various directions.

so.. did it 'land' yet?

Sounds kinda like dutch soldiers :P

hmm... well, you can try to use some program like FileResque to see if it can restore the files for you.

Are you unable to copy any of the files? or just a few of them?

Well, you could use google reader? I think you can integrate it in your gmail and install some chrome extensions for it too

awesome

hahaha thats brilliant!

@Bobby, whats peyote like?

LOL i just only now youtubed "this is your brain on drugs" now i know why so many people had a laugh about it hahaha.

By the way, i would like to enter the thought that i know quite a few people who have experimented with a variety of mind altering substances. The big big difference between most dutch drug users and foreign drug users i talked to is that the dutch ones almost always know exactly what they're using, what its result can be, when to use it, when not to use it, how to surround yourself with the right vibe (quite important for some drugs).

In comparison, the foreigners i talked to spend much more of their time franticly trying out every new thing thats rumored to give u any kind of high, without really knowing what they're up against.

I think that is because overhere, we dont make rediculously overdramatized propaganda about drugs. We dont say they're harmless, but we are generally quite truthful about what kind of risks come with which kind of drugs. Then ofcourse the fact that those with low risk are semi-legalized reduces the need to franticly jump onto anything new not really knowing what it is.

mmmmm bacon

Or give him a lavalamp..

hehe kinda makes me wonder if anyone here has ever bryced on acid :P should be pretty trippy with those DTE procedurals...

I think the behaviour might have to do with the nose of the sharks, see how the diver keeps touching it? Sharks sense electromagnetic fields thanx to clusters of sensors on their head. Touching the nose might confuse those senses or influence them in such a way that the shark becomes docile.

The effect is called "tonic immobility" i know it happens with some sharks if you turn them upside down. Its said turning the shark upside down makes its electromagnetic sensors confused, so it might also work with touching the nose for some types of sharks.
