I have a challenge for all the doomsday believers and those who constantly bang on about Elenin. Here's the challenge. Put your money where your mouth is. If you truly believe that there is going to be an extinction level event because of Elenin, aliens, earthquakes, and you are SO certain you are right then sign your money, all your possessions, everything. You won't need it, because you're going to die anyway, right? So, quit farting around, spreading paranoia and show you are a TRUE believer. I don't care who you give it to. You can give it to me, ATS, some homeless dude, or a charity. The only rule in this challenge is that you must sign your possessions over to someone you don't know, because if you sign it over to family, they can always give it back. No, you have to part with it FOREVER.
So, are you ready for this challenge? Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? I doubt it. You're all just fear mongers, spreading disinformation, trying to get people spun up. The Elenin story is (yawn) old news. It's going to pass so far (relatively speaking) that it's not even going to have an effect on the tides. Nothing, nada, zilch. We "may" get a nice view of it, like Hale-Bopp, but that's about it.

I just think people should be held accountable in some way when they are being irrational, and scaremongering,
I think you need to look up the word irrational... To be irrational is to not have reason, I have many reasons to believe what I do, my judgement has served me well... You would be irrational to ignore the signs...

even if the best I can do is a "Ha ha, told you so, now, learn from your mistakes and try to think a bit more critically next time, ok?"
Yeah ok, but seems a bit childish, don't you think? Practice what you'd like to preach... 'Critical thinking'...

I think you're intelligent enough to know what to do now, I have a list of the correlations between alignments and earthquakes if you like things handed to you on a plate...

No offence chap, was a tongue in cheek remark...

You can have all of my worldly possessions after ELE leaves in December. If you are around to accept them.
But I need my "stuff" until then.

Fair enough. Care to actually put that into a legal contract? I'll pay the attorney fees.

A bit like holding a guy to someone's head and saying "Relax, man"?
Have you ever heard the statement "Correlation does not imply causation?".

Here is the orbital path of C/1847 T1 (Mitchell). As you can see its orbit does the same thing as Elenin's. The thing they have in common is that their orbits are both very eccentric. Mitchell is a hyperbolic comet, which Elenin still has the potential of being. The reason it appears this is due to how ellipses are created on the computer. An ellipse is composed of numerous lines. Normally you do not notice this. However, in the case of Elenin and Mitchell the ellipses are very large and the area that is being displayed is a very small portion of the whole. Therefore, the individual lines that make up the ellipse become apparent.
