What ever happened to Nancy Lieder..

[Math Is Hard]

and Planet X?
Did she slink away into obscurity?

[Ivan Seeking]

I think she is working on cold fusion. :biggrin:

The arrival of planet X will be rescheduled as soon as the proper rationalization can be conceived.

[Math Is Hard]

I believe that the Zetas are real, and are an advanced race of practical jokers. :wink:

One year anniversary of the not destruction of the Earth

Sigh, how time flies: it was just over a year ago when Earth was not destroyed
by Planet X. Nancy Lieder, the erstwhile cult leader and
alien-telepathic-signal recipient, made loud claims that on May 15, 2003, 90%
of us would be killed due to the effects of a giant planet passing close
by the Earth. Oddly, on May 16, most of us were still around. Amazingly, Nancy
is still out there making her claims (the aliens were testing her with a
"white lie" so she says), though not so amazingly, her followers have
dwindled to a handful of die-hard believers. Of course, vultures
were waiting in the wings, ready to pick the entrails off the corpse
of Planet X. I'll deal with them the way I dealt with Nancy: using patience,
logic, reason, critical thinking, and, of course, the truth.


In Newsletter #52 (July 2004), Phil Plait talks about the latest Lieder-spinoff: James McCanney.
