Sorry guys, but the Saturday lie in is off. According to Christian numerologist David Meade, the entire world and everyone on it will be completely obliterated by this time tomorrow.
According to David, all life on earth is set to be wiped out as the puzzling planet Nibiru, also known as Planet X, hurtles towards us.
David has written extensively about this supposed ’12th planet’, even penning a book entitled Planet X – The 2017 Arrival. This is despite Nasa, in an unprecedented incident of head-in-the-sand syndrome, having the gaul to deny the very existence of Nibiru.
The conspiracy theorist has explained how his ‘hypothesis’ is based on bible verses, the recent solar eclipse and ‘clues’ written on pyramids. So all pretty solid stuff…
However, I wouldn’t cancel your Sunday five-a-side just yet. Ministry of Defence expert Nick Pope has also spoken out strongly against this nonsense ‘hoax’.
Speaking with The Telegraph, Nick, who is the world’s leading UFO expert, offered the following statement:
The world won’t end on September 23. Shame on the people promoting this hoax in the name of evangelical Christianity.
I’m certain Nibiru doesn’t exist because if there really was a rogue planet heading for Earth, due to hit on Saturday, it would be visible to the naked eye by now.
Furthermore, astronomers would have been aware of its presence for years, both through direct observation and through gravitational effects on other planets in the solar system.
Looks like Dave will be having some awkward conversations at the office come Monday morning.
Or, he could be completely right and won’t even be alive to be smug about it. Isn’t that just the way life goes?
