In July we will be able to see Mars like it was as close as the moon.

Really ? Iv never heared about it being that close

It's a stupid rumour that makes the rounds at least once a year. It doesn't happen, it will never happen, it can't happen. It's a myth, and stupid people continue to believe it unquestioningly. It's infuriating.

please alert me if possible if at any time fast zombies make an appearance. I'll try and swim to Cuba if I have to. Fuck those things.

I sadly have not yet invested in a zombie survival kit, of which the primary requirements are massive amounts of weaponry. Due to that, I don't feel like dying by fast zombies. Then again, I see one of those fuckers I'd probably just have a heart attack. Or maybe try and find a rooftop that doesn't have pipes or ladders or anything.

Ok about the Mars thing i dug it up, its not going to be as close as the moon thats impossible anyway, its just going to be closer than its ever been to earth so its going to be brighter, and you can see it really good with the naked eye but its still going to be a dot.

Glad to hear. That means I don't have to worry about "missing out". I always enjoy viewing unusual sights such as eclipses and what not but 90% of the time there's clouds.

Here is what is really going to happen. Im going to get my telescope out and check it out.

You know the red sky remind me of some movie i forgot the name, but its about some red cloud that envelopes the earth and turns everyone into dust, and only people who were locked up in air tight rooms were fine. Some wierd organization of scientists were partially exposed and are trying to find people who werent so they can find a cure.
