    Breaking news.

    Anyone else notice Orion's belt has been flipped vertically in the sky?
    Media must have gotten a shitload of calls from freaked out people,
    Now they're trying to say this Astrological abnormality is caused by the dwarf planet "Eris" which is millions of miles away from the belt..

    I call BULLSHIT.

    3 stars flipped to point towards the heavens.
    Hmm.

    Look into the sky.
    I noticed the stars flipped as soon as night fell.

    The news just had some astrologists on talking about "Eris"
    Trying to say this was the reason why the stars were aligned this way.
    I don't believe the whole 2012 end of the world thing btw.

    I do believe that something is happening though.
    For the last month or so,
    on clear nights I've noticed that the stars seem extremely close.

    i googled, found nothing to support the claim, so yeah, if this were true, im sure the media would be all over it. stars change place in the sky all the time with the changing seasons. so yeah

    Well, my local news station did a story on it..
    sorry yours didn't?

    Really I don't care what you believe or don't either way.
    Just putting it out there.

    Yes stars change position..
    Will you see the Big dipper break formation?
    No.

    As far as I know when you look At Orion's belt,
    The stars lay Horizontal in the sky at a slight angle.
    Hence why it's called the belt,
    It was vertically aligned last night.
    For all I know they were Holograms..
    hard to know whats what lately.

    Dude, I'm constantly looking at the sky,
    Now I understand it sounds odd,
    but I'm telling you..something wasn't normal lastnight.
    That's all I'm saying.
    Eris is a dwarf planet supposedly..
    I just don't see why these Astrologists were saying that could have an effect on the way stars are seen (alignment wise)

    It was Local 11 o' clock news in Jersey.

    Seems it's time to load my mp40 and gear up my bayonet,get some canned food,a military radio,and waste all my cash before the earth get's invaded by aliens.
    Well,there are more important things happening than that,isn't it?
    Damn,I want a namechangeh!


    Thank me if the last pic made you laugh x)
