-
- Exactly. And futhermore, because of the god Zeus we can postulate that there
- must be a tenth planet named Zeus that has yet to be discovered! And this is a
- testable prediction!

-
- It would be in the textbooks if the establishment scientists didn't supress
- it. And they must be suppressing it because it isn't in the textbooks.

- Ha, I discovered yet another reference. There is a piece of scratch paper on
