as opposed to my anime flavoured vampire on CF I remember when I first got my Alucard avatar, a bunch of people were saying " I don't think a vampire is really appropriate to CF" heh.

oh thats right the world revolves around the USA,,sorry i forgot

Correct - the world DOES revolve around us - please try not to forget in the future.

((E.g., the U.S. is only six per cent of the world's population, yet consumes fifty per cent of its resources. We are the world's only Superpower, with enough nukes to utterly destroy the rest of the world, if we wake up in a bad mood one morning. And most of our citizens are SO fat we are, additionally, the gravitational center of the world. In comparison, England is only the size of one of our fifty states.))

I'm sure that someone here who's into astronomy could debunk this in no time at all, I'm not so I can't, and besides I'm too lazy anyway.

I hope the rapture *does* take these idiots away. I for one won't miss them at all!

Lets see. "WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT"

"THIS IS FULL OF BULL SHIT"

People like them have nothing better to do then wait for the end of the world. It will come, yes it will come but only to them when they realize they are wrong and commit suicide. I won't be for them if they do.

FOURTY FOUR PAGES! Damn. I kept meaning to look, but Im not great at searching and I realised that It was entirely possible that there were no forums and this "record" had been forged and submitted directly to Bushcountry. Guess I was wrong. I'll check it out. Thanks meatros

You can’t do that without drawing attention, and astronomers have no concept of secrecy.

A massive conspiracy to conceal such events is impossible. Everybody can look up in the sky, and amateur telescopes outnumber professional ones by a thousand to one, at least. While an amateur telescope might be smaller, a 20 minutes CCD exposure can capture an amazing amount of light, dwarfing the capability of large professional telescopes with film from only a few years ago.
Yup, amateurs would be chatting about this all over the world. It would not be much of a secret. I am sure that many members of the club I'm in would be out hunting for it.

Classic spoof setup- 'Don't publish my name'- fucking moron!!!

'LOOK TO THE SKIES!' shock, fucking horror. it's not what's up there, but down here that we have to worry about.

Advance publicity for a book- 2099: WASPS from inner space. Copyright asserted by me. Extract-

'It is the year 2096. Two hundred and seventy thousand miles away the lunar landscape bustles with elements of American construction teams as they sally forth to extend the bridgehead that had become known as John Denver Port. Uncle Sam had taken this little lump of real-estate for its own, that was the significance of that first flag planting and no other dirtbag was going to take it from them. The Chinese were sabotaged, the Indians bought off and every other mother had been threatened not to bother, the moon was Uncle Sam’s. The Wars of the New Covenant were about to begin and the lunar mission had therefore grown in importance as the Armageddon Scenario entered its second phase. Forget Dr. Strangelove vs. Communism, this was God’s work and it had been started in order to rid the world of all non-white Anglo-Saxon protestants. Excessive maybe but even the mad can show some reason.

But even the Wasp’s weren’t immune, only those selected under the Jehovah’s Witness directive, which wasn’t a J.H. idea anyhow, would survive the fulmination of nuclear horticulture. Mary, Mary quite contrary, see how our bombs do blow. And here they all were, the gardeners of madness having escaped the ‘Greenhouse’ (the original codename of the Pacific Proving Ground) were impatient for the second coming of the messiah, the holiest of the holy had gathered in their masses, yet God was still nowhere in sight. The weeds of humanity were about to be thrown onto the bonfire, the turf was about to be ploughed and after it was over, the new messiahs of hatred would descend like locusts from the sky and reap their theocratic harvest as the self-righteous inheritors of a dead planet. Fuck the fishing; they would rule, ‘…who needs animals when we got Christian-technology and righteous scientists to shape the new Garden of Eden.’

[QUOTE=Porky Pine]I hope that none of those people ever run for public office. They really scare me. The only one I saw that had a ounce of reason left in his brain was GAB. The worst one is New Believer.
