This link was sent to me by friends in Singapore. Enjoy! [url]
MARS.ppt[/url]
This is not true.....it's one of those things that pops up every year about this time. Mars was closest to Earth 6 years ago....2003, it's gone, done....overwith.
It did not look like two moons in the sky either....perhaps a tad clearer/brighter, but to be honest I really couldn't tell any major difference.
My parents sent me this type of email every year since it happened....each year it got a bit fancier, but told the same thing....I finally wrote them a long reply, explaining it, and so far this year I have not recieved it.....yet.
Edit: Yes, once again it is in my inbox.
@2PacksAday,
2Packs, Thanks for the head's up on this one. I checked Snopes, and they also said this report is False.
