On KROQ-FM in Los Angeles, the morning dj team loves to have as a guest this woman named Nancy, who is a HUGE proponent of the Planet X idea. She is one of the most delusional people to ever form a grammatically correct sentence. Her evidence is stuff like, “There’s a bumper crop of wheat in Illinois.” This indicates that more light is getting to earth, which is proof of blah, which verifies her statement that blah… Kevin and Bean, the hosts, openly call on her to admit that she’s wrong, and ask her for things like hard deadlines for things to happen, but she has this whole unfalsifiable construct going. ---

Hey, I just checked that Two Olives site, and went to the page about the passing of Planet X – [http://www.two-olive-trees.org/frames.html](http://www.two-olive-trees.org/frames.html) – and discovered it appears to be a message board – _AND THERE ARE NO MESSAGES POSTED SINCE AUGUST 26!!!_ You don’t suppose… :dubious: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GMRyujin \* > \*\*I’m going to call BS on **TwelfthPlanet** ’s post and cast a Level 5 Summon Bad Astronomer. \*\* Man, why am I always summoned during a shower? OK, look, Planet X is garbage, there ain’t no such thing, blah blah blah. Happy now? OK, fine, [here’s where you wanna start](http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/nutshell.html); if you want my opinion on Nancy Lieder, then [high thee here](http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/lieder.html), and if you want the real lowdown on who she is and the utter and complete garbage she has been spewing for _ten years now_, [go here and read this sobering account](http://website.lineone.net/%7ebrian_gillbanks/zetatalk.htm). And people wonder why pseudoscience ticks me off so much. ---

No messages posted since the 26th? Maybe they are at the back to school sales at Staples. ---

New Rapture Date! [This](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3200019.stm) just in. No offical news from the Fundaloonies about the end of the world as we know it, but I thought us Dopers should scoop them on this. ---
