Yes. Yes, it is. The Weekly World News is the world's ONLY reliable news source.

Funny how they never do follow-up articles, though...

The fact it said Entertainment and Gossip in top didn't alert you to something being off?

i didn't notice that. :p

also, you see EDT instead of EST. that wouldn't be in an actual news report. Besides, how could a cloud of 'acid' be floating around in space?

that actually scared the **** out of me.

EDT is Easter Daylight Time. As in, what the time is until we switch back.

My first response upon seeing the title of the thread was: "What, again?"

Hard not to be apathetic about armageddon, what with all the hype about Y2K, then global warming, and the US's apparent campaign against the non-Christian population of the globe...

Frankly, there's no way that article could've been genuine (even disregarding the 'subtle' clues). For one, it'd be all over the news within minutes.

Last year the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking revised his theory of black holes -- which previously held that nothing could escape the hole's powerful gravitational field. He demonstrated that information about objects that have been sucked in can be emitted in mangled form.

:lol:

EDIT:
You guys don't believe this do you? Look at all the details.

Cloud moving at close to the speed of light, likely? And heading directly towards Earth...
Even if it was, according to the date seen on it, it would be way outside the solar system, in which case how could he see an asteroid be destroyed by it (outside the solar system in between solar system space?) with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory??? Too many inconsistencies to be bothered with...

If it's moving close to the speed of light, than by the time we see the cloud, it'll already be here.
