Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity
At 9:47 GMT Saturday, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is going to occur. During this event certain individuals, as well as animal species in the Northern hemisphere will experience anywhere from insignificant to moderate changes in sensation whether in their homes, yards, automobiles etc. There should be no danger during this unusual change in atmospheric conditions. NASA spokesman Gary McMillan stated Friday to Washington Press, "We didn't wish to advertise something that might cause mass hysteria among the superstitious, or advertise a scenerio that would become a catalyst for increased general anxiety. The facts are, there's no need for concern, yet there's also no means of avoiding this rare event" no visual aids will be necessary NASA stated. "This will not be a viewable anamoly", Dr. Gerald Adler stated 3-30-06 4:25 GMT. during a brief press conference.
"The planets Neptune and Uranus will pass behind Jupiter at around 9:46 GMT, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity which although poses no danger, affects of such an event will be experienced negligibly, to discernibly", Dr. Adler stated "This is in part due to three of our solar systems largest planets positioned within such close proximity to one-another creating slight alterations of atmospheric conditions which will affect planets Venus, Mars, and Earth the smaller and closest neighboring planets" Adler continued to explain. British Astronomer and Astrophysicist Richard Berler said in a statement delivered on BBC World Service radio Friday evening, "that if certain sensitive individuals (generally of lighter body stature) jumped in the air at the exact moment this planetary alignment occurred (which is most likely to be 9:47 GMT for those in the Northern hemisphere on Earth), they would possibly experience a strange floating sensation. While there is little founded reason for concern, during events such is this event, we always prefer to error on the side a caution and suggest those with serious conditions compromising their health stay closer to home." Saturday early AM most local news stations will provide periodic news flashes.

Steven ~ I am having a hard time typing! Maybe it's because of what I saw on TV. Pluto and Neptune's weak yet focused gravitational force has caused the muscles in my fingers to lock up and lose all strength disabling my efforts to type on this keyboard starting right about .......now

Yeah Don, That's exactly what's happening around here too... This lady was out trying to walk her dog, but the floating dog kept knocking into tree limbs, and high tension wires. Good thing she had him on a leash. I wonder how many people lost pet's this morning... Just ended up losing them to outter space ?

It's really weird, out here in Canby the expression "when pigs fly" has come true.
They're all over the place! It's kinda cute actually. The squealing is getting to be a bit much though.

We had a couple people here that try to outdo each other every year. A couple years back one stuffed the guys office with packing peanuts from floor to ceiling. When he opened the office door, there was an avalanche of peanuts - it made the local news.
Another time one of the local news stations reported that the Space Needle had collapsed, they said it in such a way that if you were really paying attention to the report that you'd know it was a hoax, but it backfired anyway & 911 calls flooded the system. They got in BIG TIME trouble.

That's my concern when I try to figure out just how far to the edge I should push something (I type with my name signed to it) Lonman. Or even with a SN for that matter. What might've been not funny, yet still a believeable prank 10 years ago today might be deemed (according to the new law) "Act of terrorism", or potential threat, or perhaps just a class A misdemeoner nuisance activity, yet still I don't want to do time or have officials show up at my door because of my warped SOH; (just a fear I have these days, since I have friends that are photographers getting arrested for just photographing public and government buildings, bridges etc. without permission). I realized it's best not to make certain officials, or locations the theme of a mock catastrophy or prank.
We had a radio announcer 10 years ago pull a pretty convincing prank. Assuming some forgot it was April 1, this clown had his meteorologist, engineer, and call in's (assisting his prank) really coordinated, and this was quite convincing... I'm in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains... I woke up to hearing about a Volcano that had erupted in Avon CT right on a faultline no-less. This now massive caudron triggered off slight seismic activity as well in the CT River Valley (which is actually a fault line scheduled at some point for a 7+ quake, perhaps 10,000-100,000 years ahead), He was reading escape routes, and plans were being made for mandatory evacuation within a 10 mile radius of the volcanic activity that has all main and access roads blocked off indefinately. This guy was good...
Yet one thing we yanks don't worry much about are Volcano's.... This was an interesting situation

It's true Rob. It's one thing when a dog lifts it's leg by a fire hydrant, yet it's another when the dog is 25 feet above the hydrant lifting it's leg on a transformer !
Maybe that's why so many folks were out walking with umbrellas today.

Actually the ultimate joke is alot funnier ! Night of the honeymoon you call your hubby by his father's name accidently during sex. Following morning you wake up with your head shaved, and tell him you've joined the marines, can't stay with him any longer because you are no longer attracted to men. A great time will be had by all !! It's a regular Hallmark moment !!
I get all teary-eyed at these sentimental events, not to mention that Just the thought of hearing that Brahms Wedding March, gives me a sudden compulsion to get in the air-raid position with my hands over my head, and my head between my legs... You know, just kissing my loved ones good-bye !! Thanking them for all their loyal years of use, since I won't be needing them any longer.... I'm getting :( (I can't say the word)....Just as well I suppose !!!!! I've heard it's the end of life as we once knew it. What size bed to couples sleep in the night of the honeymoon anyway ? Two people, and two notebook computers in a bed can get sort've crampy. I suppose an advantage is at least you know the person you're cybering with is really a female this time ! Well, I assume one would know this, Not sure in all cases of course. Yet I'm not one to judge, NOPE.

Should I tell people the original post was an April fool's joke yet ? or should I let them lose more sleep wondering whether or not this has all been factual ? :headscratch: Hmmm, Can't decide !
