Please stop, stop, please…help me out people…stop the madness.

According to ‘experts’ on the Internet, the alignment of some of the planets, the Moon, Mars, and Pluto is going to cause gravity to cease on Earth for a few seconds.

Say it isn’t so. Ok. It isn’t so.  Let’s just take a look at the facts shall we?  The graph above only lists Jupiter and Saturn because the rest of the planets combined don’t amount to a gnat’s ass of mass in the solar system.  It is really impossible for the planets in the solar system to counteract the gravity well of the Sun.  If that were the case, we would have flown out of our orbit aeons ago and no life would have every happened here.

So far this year, the end of the world was scheduled on January 4th, April 4th, and the next prediction is for May 4th.  Honestly, someday the doomsday predictions will come true, about 4 billion years from now.  But until that time, you can tell your friendly neighborhood Niburu believer/doomsdayer/ender that it isn’t happening anytime soon.
