   It can be really difficult to find a new purpose and direction in one’s life.

   @The J.A.M.

   I think you said this yesterday. AFAIK 2036 is the Unix zero rollover date but what is 2029 ? (I just can’t be bothered to go look it up … Oh, and it better not be some bulls#!1 American political date … as an Aussie I REALLY don’t care !!)

   2029 is when asteroid Apophis passes within 30,000 km of Earth, with a miniscule possibility of it going through a 400 m wide “keyhole” that will put it on a course to collide with Earth in 2036.

   World without end, amen, amen.
   Actually the next big thing is the comet of November 2013.
   ,
   Around August 2013 it should be visible through small telescopes or binoculars, becoming visible to the naked eye by late October or early November and remaining so until mid-January 2014. When the comet reaches its perihelion on 28 November it may be less than 1° from the Sun, making it difficult to see against the glare of the Sun. The comet may become extremely bright if it remains intact, probably reaching a negative magnitude. According to Astronomy Now, it may briefly become brighter than the full Moon.

    Sigh. Every 5,126 years it’s the same old thing. Get out the chisels and cut a new calender. misQuote from ‘Free Range’ cartoon.

    Thank God we have a chance to tax ourselves for the global warming religion because if we don’t pay our taxes the world will end. 99 out of 100 scientists get paid to say that.

    well, it may not affect “the world”, but stupid voters are definitely bringing new Dark Ages

    The sign is doubly right – that’s an S. Clay Wilson pirate holding it.
