Long Bets – The Arena for Accountable Predictions
The purpose of Long Bets is to improve long–term thinking. Long Bets is a public arena for enjoyably competitive predictions, of interest to society, with philanthropic money at stake. The Long Now Foundation furnishes the continuity to see even the longest bets through to public resolution. This website provides a forum for discussion about what may be learned from the bets and their eventual outcomes.
Notably, Ted Danson won $2K on the Red Sox. Much deeper stuff under discussion there, though.

The last theme was kind of busted and this one is closer to what my original one looked like. i still have to do some customization sometime.

‘Urgent’ Alert Sounded Over New Incoming Asteroid
Less than two days from […] warnings on the potential of Global weather chaos caused by Asteroid 2007 TU24’s 1.4 Lunar Distance close approach to our Earth, and which Western scientists had stated would be “… the closest approach by a known asteroid of this size or larger until 2027”, another new asteroid, 2008 BC15, discovered January 30, 2008, has just approached our Earth at the incredible closeness of 0.8 Lunar Distances.
[…] the greatest concern of Dr. Abdusamatov lies in the ‘assault’ these asteroids are making upon our Earth’s electromagnetic field causing an unprecedented outbreak of Global weather chaos.
That’s two asteroids passing by at a distance about as close as the Moon, the second one actually closer than the Moon by 76,800 km.
