For anyone thinking they were having a bad day here's a book review that might put things into a little perspective. (See link).

-----------------------------------------------
The book, however, gives compelling evidence of a world wide, and solar system wide catastrophic disaster that almost wiped out every living thing on earth. These two scientists give strong evidence that debris from an exploding star, a nova, intersected our solar system about eleven thousand years ago. For those of us who are puzzled as to what happened to the fabled Atlantis, and the civilizations that built the pryamids at Giza, and the structures on Mars and the moon, this book may answer that question.
-------------------------------------------------

I haven't read the book but Don posted an article about the earth was rolling like a basketball according to some geological evidence. This book may shed some light on something which may cause such "bad day" (or few years anyway).

Game of Hoops anyone ? :)

p.s. I'm in no way affiated with book, authors, web-site, etc.

p.s.s. Past history Does Not guarantee future failure (LOL)
