Sunspot Activity Continues To Drop

slreboy writes "The sunspot cycle is behaving a little like the stock market. Just when you think it has hit bottom, it goes even lower. The year 2008 was a bear. There were no sunspots observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73 percent). To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913, which had 311 spotless days. Prompted by these numbers, some observers suggested that the solar cycle had hit bottom in 2008. Maybe not. Sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower. As of March 31st, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year's 90 days (87 percent)..."

The rhino in my pen loves the grammar nazis. They come by every evening, bend over, and hold their ankles tightly, while the rhino runs his horn up their anuses. The nazis really love it when he shakes his head from side to side, lifts them up, and slams them into the ground. Gay bastards.

What happened to Self Reliance?

The good news is selling this idea might not be to terribly hard as the globalwarming-fascist agenda been destroying the publics understanding of science for decades now.
