Too funny!
"Priests from Cuba's Afro-Caribbean Yoruba religion are predicting a dramatic year of tragedy and crisis in 2002 for the world, ranging from coups and war, to disease and flooding."
Don't we have that just about every year?
"On May 5, 2000, all the planets are supposed to be in alignment. This will cause the earth to suffer earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and various other nasty stuff. A similar alignment occurred in 1982 and nothing happened. People fail to realize that the other 9 planets only exert a very tiny gravitation pull on the earth. If you were to add up the gravitational force from the rest of the planets, the total would be only amount to fraction of the tug the moon has on the earth."
Why confuse the people with facts and science when you can create a panic and make a lot of $$$? Just ask Falwell in his custom-tailored suits.
Too funny!
