October 17th 2008 Rumor

This is the rumor that has been spread on the Internet:

"Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs (1.5 days). During this time the American countries will be dark for 1.5 days.

"It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs.

"We're very lucky to see this. Forward it to all friends."

Debates rage on as to whether this is true or not...

  • NO -- Most people conclude No because scientifically the Earth would actually have to stop spinning on its axis -- which defies all the defined laws of physics and gravity.

  • YES -- This is true... read the blog on the Related Link for more details and proof!!
