I don't want to hijack the thread, but does anyone remember seeing a comet in the night sky in the late 90's? I don't think it was a bad omen.

I used zetatalk because I could get a quote from the Kolbrin on it. The Kolbrin is a real book and can be read in its entirety here. It is in a PDF format so I could not copy and paste from it...

Mother Shipton purportedly died on 1561 but up until 1641, there were really no records of her existence. So when a certain Richard Head surfaced and claimed to be her biographer in 1684, his statements were received rather poorly. Soon enough, it was proven that his biography of Mother Shipton was nothing more than a figment of his imagination.
In the 18th century, another man took advantage of the legend of Mother Shipton and he went by the name of Charles Hindley. He was the editor of 1862 version of her so-called prophecy which made it to print for the first time. Later on, Hindley confessed that it was all fabricated and he made it himself.
Without sufficient evidence or even any trace of her existence, Mother Shipton is nothing but a myth. And a myth can never be used to support a theory or a fact.
"The Hobbit" is a real book, too, but I wouldn't cite it as being an accurate portrayal of reality.
Hope not. I wonder if a large enough comet, passing close enough to our gravitational field, could exert enough pull to makes volcanoes erupt by pulling magma out towards the crust. Kind of like our moon does to our tides. Interesting theory.

When does the age of aquarius actually begin ? Just out of interest.

No. Comet nuclei are extremely small and fragile. Their gravitational pull is practically non-existent. In fact, if one strayed too close to the Earth, it is likely that the Earth's gravity would tear it apart! Nevertheless, I can see we are getting set up for another round of Elenin-mania. Who will be the first to claim the recent earthquake in Japan was due to a "cometary alignment?"
