Weird science

Hubby and a friend that he works with have been looking at some really funky websites. I think they're weird, even if the boys don't. Apparently, there is a planet that has quite the elliptical orbit and it is heading this way. It only comes this way every 3600 years or so. Frankly, how "they" (the scientist) know this, I don't know. But you should see the number of websites out there that support this theory.

Frankly, I don't believe it. But I guess in a couple of years if the government tells us that a planet is headed this way and on a collision course, I was wrong. This planet hit us once before, and that's what made this planet liveable, "they" say. I want some of what they are smoking. But just a little, 'cause it is some freaky shit.

Apparently, and I don't know where hubby gets this except those tabloids at the grocery store that declare women are having alien babies and weird stuff like that, psychics can't see further in the future than 2012. That's a little disconcerting. I was hoping for grandkids one day. I want to spoil the little buggers silly and send them home with my kids. That's the way of things, isn't it?

This planet is called Nibiru. Or you can Google planet x and see the thousands of websites that pop up. It amazes me that people have time to spend on stuff like that. But I guess we all have our priorities. Mine are a little cooky, too.

I've been downloading activities for a Christmas lap book. One of the homeschool moms in my group sent an email with these great activities, and I saved it. Or so I thought. When I went to pull it up today, I only had one page. I emailed her to resend it, but I also googled Christmas lap books and got a ton of hits. So I spent some time going through some different sites and getting some great ideas.

For those of you that don't know what a lapbook is, let me explain. You take a manilla file folder and fold it. You take the two outside flaps and fold the outside edge into the main fold. Then you fill it with information about a certain subject. Google it and you'll see. The are really cool. This will be our first one ever and I am really excited. I want to do a couple with our science next year, animals, and this will help get our feet wet. You can make little mini books to glue inside or big pages. You can have fold over flaps. You can do all kinds of things. Two of our homeschool moms did a workshop, but I wasn't able to go. We had just gotten back from vacation and I just did not have the time. But this will be quite the learning experience. And hopefully, the planet won't come to an end before we get it done.

There was a website link on one of the sites that hubby went to that said we are in the sixth seal already. The book of Revelation is actually quite interesting if you have never read it. I have read the "Left Behind" series, so I was a little reluctant, but hubby has been reading it and is loving it. I have a friend that says she finds it very comforting. I just need to shake it off and read it. Get rid of the fear and just go for it. Maybe I'll post some thoughts about it and we can read it together.

I think I have exposed you to enough new things tonight. So here is your challenge. Read Revelation, and Google lapbooks and Nibiru and Planet X. Report back here with your findings. I'll be waiting here while I finish my gin and ginger ale. Happy Googling!
