Apparently the concept of acronyms is unfamiliar to the author of that article...

... and to the proofreader, if any ... and to the editor, if any.

I wonder if any of their regular readers will notice?

[De_Bunk]

Quadraginta....

And that's from a UK national 'daily' newspaper...But then again...we all know it's only Americans who contacted NASA about this...

Prescriptivist poppycock. It's a well attested typography for acronyms pronounced as nouns. A quick investigoogling (http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&safe=off&q=NASA+site%3Anews.bbc.co.uk&meta=&fp=38c542da47a26377) of the BBC News website shows they too favour 'Nasa' over 'NASA'. Likewise Nato (http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&safe=off&q=NATO+site%3Anews.bbc.co.uk&meta=&fp=38c542da47a26377), Cern (http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&safe=off&q=CERN+site%3Anews.bbc.co.uk&meta=&fp=38c542da47a26377), Unicef (http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&safe=off&q=UNICEF+site%3Anews.bbc.co.uk&meta=&fp=38c542da47a26377).

It's known as a "Brodie". In slang, a "battle bowler", after the bowler hat.
Oh - the article? Load of pants.

Don't worry folks, just stand behind me. I speak fluent Nibiruan, and will be happy to negotiate the surrender.

http://www.surviving-nibiru.com/

This guy has captured pictures of Nibiru as it makes its relentless way across the outer reaches of our galaxy, but he has it all wrong. He thinks it's a huge killer planet but those of us who read Cities in Flight know that it's really powered by the outcasts of Nibiru who have powered a rogue gas giant with spindizzies, and they intend to destroy us if we refuse to turn over certain resources that they cannot get on Nibiru.

Specifically, they are demanding: A DVD of all the funny parts from Land of the Lost, a four hundred word essay on the theme of "Ben Stiller: Why?", and a Willie Mays rookie card.
I can pony up the Stiller essay, and I'm sure Bill Gates can fork over enough for the Say Hey Kid rookie card, but I'm afraid we're doomed.... Doomed, I say. Ya see, there were no funny parts in Land of the Lost.

So I will negotiate with them on your behalf,.... Once again placing myself between the people of earth and yet another impending disaster.

When you think of me, try to remember me like this - bravely staring down destiny, and not like it'll really be - begging and pleading and mewling like a kitten.

I always am suspicious of webpages that offer text of different colors and sizes. There's usually stinkballs on offer.

But he's got pictures of it, man! I mean how could it be a hoax?
(Seriously - what a maroon! He says it's visible now in the Southern Hemisphere - to the naked eye. There are some fairly reputable observatories south of the equator, and I'd imagine that, say for instance Phil Plaitt would've gotten some of the pics already.)

Re: Land of the Lost - I assume you mean the waste of digital storage that was the movie - The TV show was much fun!!!:D:D:D

I always thought that the British battle helmet in WW2 looked cooler...

If I believed in this stuff I guess NASA would be the first place I would ask for what to do. For now I'm just making sure that my bathtub will be full of water when the time comes.

I don’t see how someone can be so worried about 2012 when he’s stuck in 1996.…

Pitchers? We don't need no steenking pitchers:


In 2012 a planet called Nibiru/Planet-X may reek real havoc on our planet as it passes through our inner solar system.


Seems to me it's reeking pretty strongly already.

If you really want your snickers in a twist, drop by Zeta Talk. (http://www.zetatalk.com/) (At last visit long ago) they kept their text a reasonable black on white, but it's contents will make your day or kill it, depending on how you feel about CT Kooks' entertainment value or mental illness factors.

Nancy Lieder is the Captain Kirk of that Nutterprize. She claims to be the Ambassador of and in mental contact with Zetas, which are aliens (of course.) This woman buys the full bag, even if the bag, being Planet X, is a bit on the tardy side.
