1976: The British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

You know, something like 48% of Americans believe in the biblical explanation of the universe and that the world is less than 10000 years old? This despite carbon dating, and the existance of dinosaurs, oil, diamonds, etc. You retards will swallow anything that is put in front of you.

so are you dissing Christians or Americans on that one? and if you want to call us retarded at least use better word choice. 'retard' is extremely elementary and average. if your going to buy into the lame explanation of evolution and you think you have the facts down then you better be able to come up with a better version to an over used word such as retards.

Hey you dumb brits, we don't let our troops get captured by the wacko iranian asswipes like you pussies did. Cowards, fags, you are the ones with loser leaders (excepting Blair) who do deals with Saddam and are involved with the food for oil scam and not get punished. You and the freaking fwench, ruskies,chinks,and nazis are why we are in this war. You have no balls and the Islamo-terrorists will wipe you out- HA- NOT an April fools joke. You losers are the joke!

HAHAHA, wow, you really do a great job of proving your own point there. Gee, you guys sure are not the ones getting your asses blown away in Iraq, nope, not the good ole US of A. what's your death toll at again? and still rising mind you. As far as our involvement in the oil industry, it is your own presidante that can't seem to keep from making deals with the guys you now say your are after you fucking half wits. Maybe if you stop getting your info from fucking NBC and Fox news you may know a bit more about what is really going on. or maybe not, keep tooting your own horn I guess. Contrary to what you believe, your country sucks balls, the only people on the planet that think it is good is those that live there and you are pretty much the laughing stock of the rest of the international community. Did you just refer to evolution as lame? yeah much more lame than the idea that some fucking invisible entity just magically created everything. wow, fuck you suck. BAHAHA, and really trust me, there is no way that you can even argue against me without sounding like a complete fuckwad. Seriously I cant wait for you shitbag pres to get whacked, which will happen, then you will all puss and wine about how everybody hates you. FUCK AMERICA, YOU SUCK. land of the free my ass, besides being gun toting inbred rednecks what the fuck are you free to do?

Jimbo sounds intelligent...

No really, keep going...I enjoy watching you type without grammar or proper spelling. It makes you look very intelligent.

Insult America all you want with your "Oh-So-Intelligent" arguments and English. You should be on TV or on the Radio so that more people could learn to be like you. It would really help the people of the world to to sound like you.

Hell, it may even wake everyone in the world out of their stupor as to what country is perfect to a tee.

Next time your going to directly insult someone on the internet and include America as a reason, then please do so. Just don't generalize us all as Red Neck, inbred, gun toting morons, look at the statistics.

P.S. Canadians are often thought of as a country of drunk hicks, so you're generalization goes both ways.

P.S.S. You're a dumb ass and probably dress like a punk-ass 17 year old emo with no information to back up your claims.

Hey Carpathia

I am now typing without grammar; but with a keyboard. I hope you like the informed use of the semi-colon there as you seem a stickler for the correct grammatical use of English.

I wouldn't stop with Jimbo just being on TV or radio because of his/her grasp of the common language. Why not elevate him/her to being the leader of Canada - it happened with a particularly eloquent chap in the USA. Alternativeky we could take evolution a step further and nominate the man as the next deity - maybe it would then appease both the evolutionists and the blind faith brigade?

P.S. You can't really win an argument based on mine's better than yours. Unfortunatley that's where conflict lies. Having said that, you have to feel sorry for the USA (as a country) in being led down the path of universal desrision by your leaders (who may heve been elected). I don't personally think that the people of the USA are any more nuts than the rest of the global community - it's just that many of them don't seem capable of seeing beyond their back yards (oh and an all too frightening belief in the righteousness and sanctity of their country as well as blind faith in one element of middle-eastern scripture).

P.P.S. It's P.P.S as in Post Post Script (after after writing), not P.S.S. as in something you made up. Again, if you saw past your nose you'd possibly learn some useful languages such as Latin and might broaden your knowledge-base (to use a disgraceful American phrase).

P.P.P.S Now let's all kiss and make up

You want some facts to back up my arguements? How about these ones. 1) 1 in 4 Americans are illiterate to the point that they can't read a newspaper 2) In 2003 alone, 30,136 Americans died by gunfire: 16,907 in firearm suicides, 11,920 in firearm homicides, 730 in unintentional shootings, and 232 in firearm deaths of unknown intent, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. So there is gun toting and stupid. As far as inbred, well, 704 incest charges were laid in 2006, and one can only assume that number is much lower than the actual number of incest victims as 90% of sexual assault goes unreported. As far as what America thinks of Canada, who gives a fuck? like the evidence suggests, and like I suggested without the "evidence" you are gun toting inbred rednecks, many of whom can't even read. As far as the international community, Canada ranked number three as most liked country, while America was something like third from the last (which may explain why people travel through our country to blow yours up). Also, as far as being grammatically correct, try removing some of the double words from your writing, or are you so inbred that you have developed a s-s-s-stutter?? Just for your information, I have not really been paying to much attention to grammar as I am speaking to a vastly illiterate group of people. FUCK YOU.

Well, a nice example of how for example religions can work and how people actually come to believe in the crazy things they are taught, making irrational things real...

Did it occur to anyone that maybe the many people who called were going along with it to play their own joke. I can see me stringing them along.

it really did happen. the interesting thing is that in order to get word out to the masses, the information had to be leaked to a radio station under the guise of a pratical joke. otherwise, nobody would actually know about the event and have taken advantage of it.

disk jockeys are so gullible.

Wow, Smiley, you're right! A woman floating around of her own accord is quite frankly a laughable idea. However, if God made her do it then that actually sounds like a reasonable suggestion.

Hi I'm new, anybody out there with a real capacity to discuss anything in a proper manner? TonyG

Probably not here. Though if you head on over to the forum, you'll find people willing to discuss stuff.
