Well, you know Vonda, some of the more apocalyptic types seem to think
we're in for a big huge cosmic cataclysm either next year or 1999
because all of the planets are going to be lined up (don't ask me if
it's true...my astronomy knowledge ends with a "C" in freshman college
astrophysics...though I did see Hale-Bopp). So, perhaps the planets
will reveal themselves to us, and the Earth will be destroyed in a rain
of fire and brimstone...or, perhaps, Ming the Merciless is going to
attempt to crash Mongo into Earth...
