New article on David Morrison

Not much new to say, except a rather horrifying anecdote from a teacher that two sets of parents were contemplating murdering their entire families before 13 Baktun. I was thinking of including it in "Public reaction", but it is essentially hearsay. Serendi ^podous 19:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 9 September 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the section titled "Other alignments", at the end of the paragraph is this statement: Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System; larger than all other planets combined. When Jupiter is near opposition, the Earth experiences less than 1% the gravitational force it feels daily from the Moon.[102] The last sentence should read: When Jupiter is near opposition, the Earth experiences less than 1% DIFFERENCE IN the gravitational force it feels daily from the Moon.[102] Otherwise, it sounds as though during opposition, I should weigh only about a pound and a half.
