Planet X spells doom for Earth in 2003. This has been showing up in my inbox lately. Just figured I should share it and, y'know, save us all. (Continued inside.)
Well this should serve to make Manhattan Rents more affordable.
Itsa godsend really...And here I was, waiting for the polar ice caps to defrost.

why would a brown dwarf star be called Planet X?
Isn't the Sun a brown Dwarf Star - it makes no sense

No, the sun is not a brown dwarf.....but Jupiter can be called a brown dwarf star, I think.
I wonder if Planet X is going to have really expensive upcoming shoes.

Some quick googling reveled very little happened then, except the end of Noah's flood, or whatever it's called, which doesn't seem all that catastrophic.

Do you suppose Planet X is where all those Generation X people come from? Maybe they're all about to be called home. Will the Baby Boomers even notice that they're all gone?

gloege, I can't believe you brought up Battlestar Galactica and failed to see the truth:
Planet X is prophesied to portend the second coming of the messiah, who will rule the universe justly and wisely, and reminisce about his days as Ben Cartwright on TV's Bonanza.
Adama, we hardly knew ye!

Wait, if "Seven years prior to X's passage it begins to trigger volcanic, seismic activity, changes in weather," and it is going to pass us in 2003, then it must have been triggering such changes since... 1996. So apparently we have already had five years of total terror...

Some quick googling reveled very little happened then
Does that account for those few years which were omitted to make some other event occur in the right year?

Mr. Planet X says * See PLANET X yourself at this web page, which does a great job of rationally explaining there is nothing to fear. Buy the book, just in case.

its regular orbit causing natural
calamities. X is a brown dwarf star
that orbits between BOTH suns. 1987
