Fact or Fiction?

A customer of ours came in to pick up his PC after I put a fan into it and asked me "Have you heard of Planet X?". I asked "What's that a new game or something?"

He proceeded to tell me about Planet X. Apparently there's a rouge planet orbiting the sun that has a 3600 year orbit and rotates the Earths poles when it arrives.

I laughed at him (whatever?) until I did some searching on this rouge planet. Mostly at www.xfacts.com and thought hmmm is this real or just a big farce.

According to the "research" the Earth will stop revolving and turn on it's side ie. The north and south pole will be the equator and the equator will be the N/S pole.

I can't see that happening. I may be wrong I'll have to wait until July 2003. That's when it is supposed to happen.

I'd like to hear what you had to say on this topic..

Jim
