Erich Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD IS HEADED TOWARD EARTH! http://tv.yahoo.com/news/wwn/20050912/112653720001.html "CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a "chaos cloud" that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth! Discovered April 6 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the swirling, 10 million-mile- wide cosmic dust cloud has been likened to an "acid nebula" and is hurtling toward us at close to the speed of light -- making its estimated time of arrival 9:15 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2014. " "A super-massive black hole lies about 28,000 light-years from Earth at the center of our galaxy," explained Dr. Sherwinski. " This has to be a farce, I doesn't even add up! If it's real, (HA, HA), and it's getting here in nine years, and the event horizon is 28,000 light years away, It doing way more than light speed. Yes......... I see it in an entertainment column, but the public should not be exposed to such evident dribble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakuenso Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 since when did hoaxes have to be proved? usually it is the other way around, everything's a hoax until proved. That's how science work. Having to prove hoaxes is ID thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabloids don't print real news, they make it up and people buy it because 1) they're stupid and think it's real or 2) they think it's funny. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/definitions/wwn.html The Weekly World News EffectThe phenomenon of articles published by the Weekly World News, a farcical tabloid newspaper, being mistaken for real news. This happens principally because Yahoo! News runs Weekly World News stories in its Entertainment News & Gossip section without any accompanying warning label such as "satire" or "parody."
