Hey guys! I was just informed that NASA just forewarned us all that we need to prepare for 6 days of darkness on Earth!!! I don't know if this is a legit site it's coming from, but wtheck?!!

I'll do some more exploring in the morning, but I'll leave you all with this for now:

Umm, is it just me or do all the dudes sitting at that table have the same soulless look to them?

Found this here (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-confirms-six-days-of-darkness-in-december-no-they-really-dont--its-a-hoax-9822744.html)

It may feel like winter is slowly squeezing all the sunlight out of your day, but if you see any news stories claiming the Earth is headed for ‘Six Days of Total Darkness’ then don’t start stocking up on the tins of beans and torches just yet.

‘Satirical news site’ Huzlers.com has been spreading this fake story far and wide on the web this week, taking in numerous Facebook and Twitter users and encouraging them to post about what they’re going to be up to during the six days of darkness.

The story on the vaguely official looking website titled “Nasa Confirms Earth Will Experience 6 Days of Total Darkness in December 2014!” claims that an incoming solar storm is to blame, causing "dust and space debris to become plentiful and thus block 90% sunlight”.

This is false. Although solar storms certainly are real phenomena (they occur due to fluctuations in the Sun’s magnetic field) they’re not like terrestrial storms that can blow up dust and dirt.

Eelco is correct, it is also impossible to make those kinds of predictions about the Sun.

Oh I would love to come to your place Tribe, for 6 days and nights around a campfire. Sadly the airfare from Oz to you is a bit prohibitive. I would be with you in spirit though!

Which, according to some sources, is exactly what the bad guys have been trying to achieve since the beginning of the 21st century.

I don't know if this is part of their thinking, but putting all the other pieces in place is not going to make Jesus magically return, as if you just performed a spell.

Most people wouldn't last 6 hours of daytime darkness let alone 6 Days . Sorry to burst your bubbles , but this is most definitely a hoax . I saw this video some years ago and the same 6 Day blackout story . It was BS then and it's BS now , enjoy the festive season with your families and a have a great time .

I doubt they want JC to show up, their goaty days would be up !

Convincing the masses that it was "that time" to justify wiping out huge swathes of the Earths population in a mock "judgement" would be right up their street though, I bet they could stretch to a mock CGI JC of their own.
