Inspired by other threads I just remembered - was this not the season Fred Astaire of Kaunas said would precede Hearts winning the Champions League?

This is the first of 3 'quiet' years which may give us a chance to get organized before 2010. It may not be 'business as usual' as there may be serious problems in the world if there is a comet impact in 2006; we can't expect to know everything in advance and there may be some surprises too.

Some other websites are predicting 2007 will be the first year of the end days.

A site called Vulcan, Comets and the Impending Catastrophe expects a comet impact Feb 2007, based partly on a theory about a large object that orbits the Sun but which has not yet been properly observed (also known as planet X).
An extract from the 2000 paper:
"The two other papers offered on this web site offer evidence of the causal agent of these events, our Sun's dark companion star. It generates two separate comet swarms (each orbiting the Sun about every 3,353 years) that orbit 180° out of phase. They alternately threaten Earth for about a hundred year period every 1500 to 1700 years. One of these swarms appears to have passed Earth about 1500 years ago, registering impacts around 440 AD and 534 AD. The impending threat is from several closely spaced comet clusters contained within the second of these swarms. The composite threat scenario indicates that a comet - Earth impact may first occur around 2006/7. An estimated one-kilometer diameter comet fragments into about a dozen major pieces along a 1,700 mile-long path from France to Israel. A second, and more deadly impact, may occur in the Southern Hemisphere less than a decade later. Impacts from fragments of a larger comet, or ones on a more vertical trajectory, may then occur. Both events catch most of humanity by surprise as our current habitat and political structure is swept away. Ultimately, they may cause the death of the bulk of mankind by relocation trauma, insurrection, thirst and starvation. Humanity may then be painfully returned to one of an Ice Age culture thereby greatly limiting the extent and capability of our civilization."

The Armageddon Online website suggests a date of 2007 for the start of the Armageddon War; based on scriptural arguments.
