I was watching the images of the Space Shuttle breaking up in the atmosphere and a memory crept out from the depths... wasn't there a prophecy or prediction about some sort of 'thing' in the 'heavens' returning to Earth in a blaze of fire?? Didn't we all think that it was Mir at the time? When it was burnt up in Earth's atmosphere??

Again wasn't this one of those 'end times' prophecies??

If something can go wrong, it will.

If anyone makes any sort of prophecy, something like is bound to come true at some point in time. I will make a prediction: there will be another space accident in the next 17 years.

I don't know if it is true or not, but I remember people here discussing it in a thread - and that that 'prophecy' was chalked down to it being Mir that was the 'house in the sky' or something that would return to earth in a shower of starts. Or something like that. True you can make a vague prediction about anything.

If you're thinking Revelation endtime kinda stuff, I don't think this could qualify as anything. It'd have to make a third of the fresh water on Earth undrinkable, or turn the oceans to blood or something.

And if we had Torres here with us she'd have the Columbia back up and running by next episode! [Roll Eyes]

Of course they were aliens. Probably in league with the zionist Illuminati New World Order government. And since the Earth is flat, and space doesn't exist, the whole affair was a cunningly devised plan to deceive us and keep the Truth hidden from us anyway. It was probably not even the shuttle, but AN ALIEN SHIP (omfgwtf!!!) crashing in Earth's atmosphere! That's why we weren't allowed to touch the debris! And there's no way that 'debris' can come from a shuttle! Because there are no shuttles! Aliens! Government!! Time Cube! YOU ARE ALL EDUCATED STUPID! I AM GOD!!!!!

And that concludes todays lesson in Conspiracy Theories For Beginners.

I can't see this thread serving anything close to a purpose. Wackjob theorizing belongs on the Flameboard, where anyone is welcome to start this anew.
