Don't really know how true will this phenomenon be

Sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs(1.5 days).

Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs (1.5 days). During this time the US countries will be dark for 1.5 days. It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs. We're very lucky to see this.

I just got a mail forward from a friend and thought I just might put this up for discussion amongst the learned and mighty of MS who somewhere must have some info on this.

I am surprised that Aaj Tak / India TV and other such channels are not yet beaming this up... they are still running after the Sensex downfall (sub 12K)today...which has happened in 740 days (last time it touched this low was 26 Sept 2006).

From the high of 8 Jan this year of 21K plus it has dropped a majestic 43 percent already and if experts are to be believed this slide to continue for another 3-5 months perhaps...

Are we prepared for the long sunshine (17th Oct onwards) and for the dark days too....

The face of the US Dollar changed (check my Pics gallery), what will the new INR look like...it already looks shattered and dilapidated though.
