Thread: Top 10 News Stories of 2006

as told by The National Geographic Society

Check it out!

i think these were pretty cool a number of them were brought up here before and had topics about em. i know CPR referenced some of them in her biblical rants. i think the most influential of stories was the booting of Pluto from the planetary class of celestial objects... i know its gonna be fun being 30 years old and telling my kids when i was your age Pluto was a planet! XD

i always knew it was weird that the greatest prophet ever couldnt prophecise his own death XP

yeah i remember watching the program of when they first discovered ancient book about judas. It has caused a lot of controversy ever since. Religion could be changed FOREVER =o! (not hoping this will become a big religious debate.)

and i remember when the pluto thing came out a few months ago. It's soooo wierd, since back in elementary skool we had 9 planets. Now its 8...ahaha. I wonder what they are teaching kids as of RIGHT now in school? Anyone have a bro/sis/cousin/something in grade school right now?

steve irwin = (

Well, I'm telling my kids that Pluto is a planet and that's that. They can't just demote it from planet status because they discovered a pair of smaller things that they think should be included in pluto. Just call them planets or something... but to call them plutons and demote Pluto is crazy.

I don't remember most of those stories (but Noah's Ark in Iran? Clearly they haven't listened to the stories placing it in Japan. Psht. *goes back to reading manga*) except the Steve Irwin one (that was sad) and a vague memory of the Judas incident...
