On August 27, 2003, at 2.21 am (PDT), Mars will come as close to Earth as it has in nearly 60,000 years. At 34.62 million miles, this will be the closest pass since September 12, 57,617 BCE.
It occurs to me that the God of War will be as close as he's been in recorded history.
So in a superstitous game - Will August 27 bring us some warring disaster?
Ongoing difficulties, such as Iraqi attacks against Coalition troops don't count.
Al Qaeda? A mushroom cloud? Dirty bomb? Biochem attack? Massive riot? Anything? Anything?
Okay, it's morbid speculation, but still ...
