This post has been 1920s style modicum-rayed by the Modicum-Rayist. ---

Another vote for asking the OP to put something up other than links. ---

The moon just showed up yesterday. And people’s memories all over the world were modified to make them think there was a moon two days ago. You cannot prove me wrong. ---

I made it as far as “After the Pentagon dismissed the object as an ‘asteroid,’…”. If the Pentagon did that, it would have been _huge_ news, because an asteroid in orbit around the Earth would be a great discovery. (Also you wouldn’t call it an “asteroid” if it were in orbit around the Earth.) Anyway, if it was in orbit as low as the Shuttle, it wouldn’t have lasted 3000 years. It’d be lucky to last 15 years before it fell down to the earth. ---

I’m a Young Earth Creationist. The entire world was created 37 seconds ago, but as if it had existed for millions of years. Your memories of earlier today, yesterday and your childhood are merely part of God’s plan. 😛 ---
