I could predict that the Titanic would re-form and rise from the ocean floor tomorrow, but that wouldn't mean it was going to happen.

I could say that about you for posting a blurry screenshot of a webpage that you could have linked to claiming it was a NASA webpage talking about Niburu when it was talking about Eris which is 3/4 the size of Pluto.

I believe; I believe. I'll be there with my video camera. The tape will be sold to the highest bidder. The proceeds will be shared evenly with you.

Centaur. What,.... tea with no crumpets?

Instead of posting a blurry unreadable screenshot- why didn't you just post the link?
The link you posted to Photobucket says Niburu-Eris.

Yet, nowhere on that page you took a screenshot of is Niburu mentioned. - At All.
No Where.
Not Once.
To avoid eye-strain, folks might wish to look at the original page, featured in the blurry screenshot, here:

Some good does come from this... I previously had little ( none ) knowledge of Russell's Teapot. I will now pass the imaginary plate around so I might build the telescope to find this gem of cosmoligy... Hmmm...
Yes Neverfly. You have it said... done and dusted.

Thanks Grant.
Ironic... That we can spot Eris, which is smaller than Pluto and three times as far away- yet we cannot spot this gigantic Monster that Niburu is described to be.

Unhappy Geographic cataclysm

The discomforting half truth you all saw back there was that 'Yellowstone Park' is a candidate for a cataclysmic explosive eruption. That is true.
Just because humanity has built a park and all of that what is Yellowstone National Park infrastructure does not preclude such a violent volcanic event. It will happen, and it will be nasty.
To attach such nonsense such as a tea pot dwelling genie is frivolous and irresponsible.
none of this has any place here in an astronomy forum.
Only that those idiots that believe this sort of thing are the same people that scream conspiracy and point unknowingly at the small bone china tea pot.... Oh hell I give up..
Yes NASA have known of this killer planets impending collision for years and are all going to the ISS for the September event of 2011. and will stay up there through to 2012 just to be safe. I will be safe here under my quilt with my comfy blanket. Oh,! here comes the nurse......

It is indeed true that it is almost inevitable that Yellowstone will again explode cataclysmically. Thanks for mentioning that. It is also true that it is likely a massively destructive asteroid will again hit the Earth. The point of my “frivolous” exercise was to show that those who predict precise dates for these events without sound scientific evidence should be laughed at or ignored.

Amazing to find such sense could be gleamed from my rantings. I could not agree with you more.
I think to ignore them is to let them off to lightly... lets ridicule them into submission. While all the time planing for and building the sheltars....
