Finally, a site that debunks the idea.

Also, sometime ago, the badastronomy guy debunked the idea fairly well on a radio show.

Of course, "they" could be in on the conspiracy.

Just think, with the weird weather going on, terrorist attacks (may be motivated by an imballance of cosmic proportions) and our failing economy, anything can happen these days. I know this might mean some of you rotund people can't watch Dragon Ball Z anymore but try to at least consider that the world is changing and it's not for the better. If you don't believe this planet x thing has any signifigance then try to prepare for another terrorist attack at least. Extra food, survival gear, etc. Also, think how absurd the world has gotten... money, greed, loss of basic values, martha stewert (haha) and everything else that turns the human animal into the human consumer. I'm tired of being told what to buy and to use my visa card to buy it with. I want to feel human by living as one and not as a soft shell of what a human could be.
oh my god... hes a hippie!

its supposed to reverse the poles, not crash into us.

The way i look at it is, does the US gov't keep the world quiet? that article is particular to the US. All the govt agencies know, so you're telling me the russians and chinese dont know? I bet if they did it would leak faster than it would here, PLUS be a hell of a lot more accurate.

If people knew what was really going on just in the US with real life terror threats, they wouldnt read this mumbo jumbo. I see the REAL things everyday at work, and it makes me nervous. Screw that planet X crap

I asked my Magic 8-ball whether Planet X is coming for us... and it said:

Don't count on it.

When asked, "Will Brazil defeat Germany", it said:

Without a doubt.

Seems credible to me.

Oh...

At least if 90% of the people on the world are facing imminent death, a lot of the women will be less choosy and lower their standards. So, this might actually be a good thing for some of us...:cool:

The people that are spouting the most doomsday information in relation to Planet X claim they were contacted by aliens from Zeta Reticuli with this information. These people are cut of the same cloth as people from the Heaven's Gate cult and Scientologists.

Maybe it's not a stable orbit and took 4 billion years to finally get close enough to do damage, impact or not. Retard.

it wouldnt be a planet then would it.


planet

n 1: any of the celestial bodies (other than comets or satellites) that revolve around the sun in the solar system

or·bit Pronunciation Key (ôrbt)
n.

The path of a celestial body or an artificial satellite as it revolves around another body.
One complete revolution of such a body.
The path of a body in a field of force surrounding another body; for example, the movement of an atomic electron in relation to a nucleus.

A range of activity, experience, or knowledge.
A range of control or influence: ?What magnetism drew these quaking ruined creatures into his orbit?? (Malcolm Lowry). See Synonyms at range.
Either of two bony cavities in the skull containing an eye and its external structures; an eye socket.


It isn't exactly a planet but it is planet sized. They're saying it's a brown dwarf or some sort of burned out star.



yeah a brown dwarf flying through a galaxy just happens to hit the earth

We could consult our resident Seeress Isla and see if that link is correct.

Hehe... You called, JellyBaby? ;) Maybe I can give some comfort, anyway...

As you can imagine, I looked into this extensively. Then I realized that even if it is true, there is not much I can do except brush up on my survival skills, which is fun and wise to do anyway. :) (Girl Scout Motto: Be Prepared!) There isn't enough evidence to prove or disprove it to my complete satisfaction yet, so I haven't ruled it out as the 'thing' that I am expecting. I think it is UNLIKELY that Planet X is for real... but do I think it is possible? Yes, and I also think it would be in the government's best interest to keep it quiet. I figured out a long time ago that our government does NOT always have our best interests in mind so I think it is important to educate yourself and come to your own conclusions.

The good news is, IF Planet X is for real, we will have a little bit of warning ahead of time. It should be visible in the sky, so if you see what should look like a reddish star about to bear down on us, meet me in the hills of North Carolina! :D

Oh, and GMachine

First it's terrorists and now it's rogue planets. How am i supposed to care about anything when some huge planet is going to smash the Earth in half. What are your thoughts on this planet x thing?

Easy. Love with all your heart and cherish each moment you live from here on out. That way, no matter how you get taken out of the game, you can leave in peace.

Edit: This is far scarier to me....

Boy this guy is a real wack job. He's actually saying that terrorist attacks and our "failing economy" are somewhat responsible for this. LOL Oh man where do they find these people.

I got 10 dollars saying his last name is Applewhite Jr. Who wants in on that one?

Please for the love of god let this one drink the koolaid.

None of you believed those neo buildings in our city would have been destroyed either. I'm not a hippie, i'm out of college already and I don't believe in religion. This is science and if all of this is true then good luck to you all. If not, you can get back to your nerd lives making fun of people and trying to impress women you have no chance with. (I'm married and she's not 300 pounds so don't kid yourselves)
