or so it says here

Coutdown to meltdown.

ROtFL! Very funny.

Calaethis Dragonsbane 10-02-2002 06:51 AM

*sigh* we'll probably have destoryed ourselves waaaaaaaaaaaaay before then *sigh* I wonder where they get all of their so called expertise from. *sigh* [img]tongue.gif[/img] heh, in the future, we'll probably have better technology to measure the sun, so why worry now? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ronn_Bman 10-02-2002 06:56 AM

It's sad that they, so callously, mention that innocent marshmellow falling into the fire. Another marshmellow lost; where will it all end? ;)

The good news is that we won't have to worry about the meteorite that is going to hit the earth in 17 years anymore.

It HAS?! *gasp* [img]tongue.gif[/img] @ college; so whats the next paraniod science thingy they've come up with? a solar flare that SOMEHOW manages to reach earth and fry it? [img]tongue.gif[/img] heheh.

Rokenn 10-02-2002 10:19 AM

You think that is bad? What about this computer that develeloped AI all on it's own and launched a porn web site? It's just one step away from SKYNET and Terminators walking the street!

khazadman 10-02-2002 10:45 AM

yahoo needs to stay away from the weekly world new type of stuff. :D

Lord Shield 10-02-2002 12:32 PM

one word -

RUBBISH!!!!!!!! :D :D

Horatio 10-02-2002 12:53 PM

Ah, I'm not worried. My people will come and take me back to Mars WAY before then ;) :D

Sigmar 10-02-2002 12:58 PM

It be funny if all the people on Earth would yell

"It's going to blow, get down!" only to realise that the explosion would take the better part of 10 minutes to reach us :D

Timber Loftis 10-02-2002 01:05 PM

My main concern is what is the government doing to stop this problem with the Sun? Nothing I bet. No orders, no plans. I say it's their job to get the sun under control. :D

Notice that the good Dr. blamed global warming on this. I can see the Onion headline now: "In Surprising Twist, Exxon, BP, and Shell Join To Back Wacky Doctor's Sun-Death Research."

As for the link to the story about the sorority girls - what website are the pictures posted on? :D Let's be real - their little private homepage went from secret money-maker to embarrassment when their friends and family found out. Serves 'em right - being a slut is fine, just be prepared for people to know you're one I always say. :D

Paladin2000 10-02-2002 01:22 PM

Eh? So what else is new? I bet you that someone will said that aliens will invade earth in another six months. Some of these "scientists" are waaaaay too free.

Damn! I must fire my intelligence officer.

*Hey you! You are fired!*
*What?! You don't like the tone of my voice?!*
*zap!* *zap!*
*Cleaning crew? Please send someone to clean up some "dust" in my office*

nice work, 8438. But, put those awful tentacles away, before you take someone's eye out :D

<font color = lightgreen>This is just plain nonsense. If the sun's temperature rose that dramatically, we could see it--there is a direct correlation between the temperature of a star and the distribution of wavelengths of radiations being emitted. That is, cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue; since the sun has not color-shifted to blue then the temperature is not rising like that. Enormous prominences are a normal phenomena; some of them can be larger than the Earth.
Besides, based on all accumulated cosmological/astronomical research shows that the Sun, a G-2 (or is it G-4?) star, would become a red giant before entering the last stages of its life. So there.

On the other hand, there is evidence to show that solar activity, especially the 11-year sunspot cycle, does have a considerable influence upon the mean surface temperature of the Earth.

Looks like Lord Shield will be the first to perish when the sun blows up. The sun shines out of his arse, after all :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe 10-02-2002 04:18 PM

my suspicions are confirmed I thought it was getting hotter, but its only the sun heating up about to blow up, well thats a releif. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

/)eathKiller 10-02-2002 05:14 PM

Yipee... Maybe we'll all get to die and the moon will turn to blood just like said because the sun will lilght it up so much...

I agree. I'm a science geek (I admit!) and stars turn huge at the end of their life. The sun isn't going to Supernova for another 3 or 6 billion years! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Timber Loftis 10-02-2002 05:56 PM

Perhaps a picky point, but I don't think you can predict any cosmic event regarding stars within 6 years. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img] Maybe within 6 thousand.

Funny, but this paragraph gave it away:

-----
The core temperature of the Sun is normally 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. But in recent years it's climbed to an alarming 49 million degrees, says Dr. Van der Meer, leader of a team of Amsterdam-based space scientists who've been tracking the changes in the Sun.
-----

Someone from Amsterdam would not use Fahrenheit, they would use Centigrade.

Atrayu 10-02-2002 06:07 PM

Does this have anything to do with the ozone hole splitting in two the other day. ;)
