Yep, there is a thread on another part of the forums about it. It got a lot of hype leading up to today, but of course it was a non-event. Surprise, surprise. :-P

We are not at midnight yet, - doomsayers say - ,I am hopeful!
Grasping straws are they?

That's right, we were supposed to be flipped upside down by Comet Elenin.
All because some misguided female on YouTube was playing about with a solar system simulator and found that she could draw a straight line through the comet, Earth and Sun. An alignment! Never mind that the comet is far beyond the orbit of Mars. As everyone knows, magic gravitational beams shoot across space on these occasions. I think the beam must have missed us by a whisker.
Sadly, here is how it's gonna go:
First thing, the Elenin alignment crowd (not to be confused with the Elenin-is-really-Nibiru crowd, or other variants) is split between the solid date (the 15th) and a time window spanning from the 11th out to the 22nd or so. Depends on who's hypothesizing at the time. (We've seen that song and dance before, eh?) So, tomorrow all the solid date people will bunny-hop to time window, giving them another week-ish. Then, after a week, if nothing significant happens, they just claim Elenin caused the Japan earthquake, and claim victory. No pole shift, but a horrifying disaster. Correlation = causation in the doomsayer's mind. More such dates will be forthcoming.
Never mind that there are hundreds of comets, thousands of other NEO's, etc, causing alignments on a regular basis and nothing happens. Just ignore the fact that Elenin is really an unremarkable chunk of ice and rock in space. Japan will be held as proof positive all the way up to the anticipated 2012, if not longer, because doomsayers refuse to acknowledge the multitude of times their 'theories' don't work.
Quick question: As near as I can tell, the only reason for Elenin being 'important' in the first place is NASA didn't discover it. So the story is NASA 'really did, but covered it up.' If anyone has further information on the doomsayers' infatuation with Elenin, I'd be curious to know.

Surely that's another claim of NASA being the space agency with the biggest public face, rather than the go-to guys. Would have thought it had been reported to the IAU or Minor Planet Center or something first. Then of course, it is interesting for being bright, 'close', and so on - even scheduled to pass close to STEREO-B in July I think, and no doubt/hopefully all over those images and SOHO too.
Maybe some new age group did a tree hugging session and deflected the evil comet. LOL
So even if there is some doom object coming, relax and just wait for the new Agers to hug something to chase it away. LOL
I forgot all about it because I was wanting to go get Homefront.
Looks like doomsayers need a different hobby.
Everything is proceeding as I have forseen. Wait… when did that happen?
Yeah now they're saying they were wrong. Irs gomna be on Saturday when there's a super moon…geez.
*live*laugh*love*dance*
Hmm, that sounds like they are hybridizing the time window to the super moon idea. Always a doomsayer favorite, adding up unrelated factors.
Its april and i had to bring this thread back :D
