In a Parallel Universe...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

...I got a haircut, a job, a wife, two point four kids and a Citroen Xsara. And better spelling.

Anyone know how to cross dimensions? I need to stick a knife in that guy.

I wonder what would have happened if the Tunguska event had happened over a well-populated city rather than over Siberia...

Good link, Mark.

Nowhere near my route through Siberia, but good link all the same.

The Russian website devoted to it really isn't very good, though.

I suspect the Russians know slightly more than they're letting on </conspiracy theory>

I read somewhere that a bunch of rocket scientists calculated the object's* trajectory and, had it come off course by a few hundred meters in the upper atmosphere, it would have smashed straight into St. Petersburg.

* - They're not pulling any punches, are they?

Closely related to Google-fu if anyone wondered.

I'd doubt that very much. But it's a testament to the efforts of years of official secrecy that people still believe it :lol:

And if my Auntie had balls, she'd be my uncle. You can prove anything with 'if'.

Unless you're suggesting that they shot it down over Siberia instead?

It was a f**king meteor. Read the wiki. Conspiracy theories aren't deserving the name theory. Only proper scientific stuff should be called theories:

The Theory of Relativity.
The germ Theory of disease.
The Theory of Gravity.
The Theory of Evolution.

Theory does not mean "rabid wild speculation" or "guess"

</rant>

Shouldn't they strictly be called "conspiracy hypotheses"?

The Anti-Boudicca is a cross between Vicky Pollard and the "mum" in any advert for supermarkets or household cleaning fluid. ;D

You can inflict any horrific injury on her that you please, with my blessing.

If I ever meet the Anti-Dark, I will personally stab the chav to within in an inch of his life. Then kick him in the ribs mercilessly until either they break or my foot does.

Or alternatively I can find the Anti-Heartland and bomb it because of the chatspeak.
