PS: What's the symbol in your sig mean knapp?

It's Tolkien's symbol - the letters J, R, R & T combined.

Yeah, I guess a lot of people like this day.

1702 - Comet C/1702 H1 approaches within 0.0437 AUs of Earth

Gotta love the use of decimals...you realize that's still like 4 million miles away from Earth.

You're right. For some reason the list of dates and events stops at '97 and didn't the school shootings occur in '99? Didn't the shooters do it specifically on that date to commemorate Hitler's B-Day or something?

yea it just really shocks me, nothing on the radio, tv or internet about it, i have heard the oklahoma bombing and hitlers birthday and all the other stuff, but just really nothing about Columbine, i dont know if people have forgotten or if they are trying to forget it. nothing major, just kinda surprised me not to hear anything

Yeah, I ran the math on that - it's 17x the distance of the Moon's orbit.

Near miss.
