| The world ends this weekend (again). |
DOOMSDAY believers better assume the brace position, for the end is
now very nigh — on Saturday in fact — if conspiracy theorist David Meade got it
right.
Meade has released an e-book on Amazon stating that Planet X, also
called planet Niburu, will pass Earth on Saturday, causing volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis and earthquakes over the weekend and likely World War 3 by next week, and an
end to civilization as we know it by next October.
Mead claims his end-is-nigh prediction is backed by Nasa’s
“discovery” last year of a new planet called Planet Nine and he quotes
extensively from Biblical doomsday prophecies.
It should be noted Nasa has not in fact found a ninth planet, but
only predicts one based on mathematical and computational models presented last
year by astronomers Konstantin Batygin and
Mike Brown.
Mike Brown.
Their models suggest a Neptune-sized planet may orbit our sun in a
highly elongated orbit in the far reaches of space beyond Pluto, over 7,5
billion kilometers from Earth. They nicknamed the predicted world “Planet Nine”
and encouraged fellow astronomers to start hunting for the as yet unseen
world.

| There is light at the end of the tunnel. |
The other most recent times the world was supposed to be hit by
Planet X was in 2003 and when that did not happen, new “interpretations” of
an ancient Maya prophecy moved the end of earth to December 21, 2012. All of
which means non-doomsday believers (and paid-up members of the Flat Earth Society who don’t believe in planets) can relax and assume the braai position.
For this Doomsday too, shall pass and allow us to celebrate
Heritage Day with some shisa nyama come Monday.
