NASA confirmed there will be 15 straight days of darkness in November 2015
On 14 July 2015, the web site Newswatch33 published an article titled “NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 15 Days of Complete Darkness in November 2015,” claiming:
NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 15 days of total darkness between November 15 and November 29, 2015. The event, according to NASA, hasn’t occurred in over 1 Million years.Astronomers from NASA have indicated that the world will remain in complete darkness starting on Sunday, November 15, 2015 at 3 a.m. and will end on Monday, November 30, 2015 at 4:15 p.m. According to officials, the “November Black Out” event will be caused by another astronomical event between Venus and Jupiter.Charles Bolden, who was appointed to head of NASA by President Obama, issued a 1000 page document explaining the event to the White House.
While Charles Bolden is a real NASA official, the Newswatch33 web site is not a legitimate news outlet. Newswatch33 is a fake news site began darkening the doorstep of social media networks shortly after the nearly identical NewsWatch28 fake news site shut down in mid-2015. Moreover, the “15 days of darkness” yarn was lifted from an older (debunked) viral rumor that has been around the online block several times before.
Newswatch33 has hoaxed social media users a number of times since its inception, falsely claiming that supporters raised $4 million for the defense of Charleston shooting suspect Dylann Roof, that a girl was electrocuted by her iPhone’s earbuds, that Jay-Z and Beyonce purchased the rights to the Confederate flag, and that the federal government had impregnated inexpensive cigars with listening devices.

Well, actually, there WILL be about fifteen days, total elapsed time, of darkness in November. They will just occur over 30 days, and only at night… - image: http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/?s=72Why do people switch their minds OFF when they enter the net?

If we didn’t blow ourselves to Hell in some sort of Palin-led apocalyptic scenario, the ensuing population boon would be most excellent for countries like Japan, Russia, Western Europe – all Geo’s/areas experiencing exceptionally low birth rates (the still predominant/post apologetic genetic groups, anyway.).Man, if we could somehow provide FreeNet for all…and throw on some Mandatory Barry White albums?We could…sexually…save the planet!
- image: http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/?s=72These sites that publish this stuff aren’t even funny. I have yet to see anything even midly amusing that they’ve written.Who reads this stuff? Why does anyone think it’s funny? And how do these things go viral – they pay people to post the links, or what?Smh. I don’t get it.

And then there’s Facebook–the easiest, fastest way to spread ignorance!

If you do this, give my regards to Santa Claus.
