This is awful...the world has gone haywire!..They say the planet Mars (the planet of disaster and war) has been coming closer and closer to earth and as it does...all hell is gonna break loose...well..I just hope it starts moving backwards or something..things just don't look pretty with Mars...incidently it's also the planet that represents MEN! Go figure!
I'm impressed!
