Maggie was right to worry about the astrological implications of Deep Impact!
MOSCOW (AP) - NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust - it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.
Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday.
Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) - the approximate equivalent of the mission's cost - for her "moral sufferings," Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope."

Yes.. Someplace, somewhere in the vastness of our universe, an alien has just read "Cancer - Today is your lucky day ! Good fortune will follow you wherever you go..", not knowing as he steps out his front door that a 500 kilo chunk of frozen alien crap was ejected from a passing passenger saucer and is at that very moment just 1 second away from squashing him with its own Deep Impact. And why you ask ? Because your experiments with the comet threw the alien horroscope off by one day.
In truth, Cancer's good luck was to be tomorrow.. Today's horroscope should have read "Cancer - Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we'er in for nasty weather. One eye is taken for an eye...
You Earthlings now owe his family 1 Gazillion Shezobs.. You Grok ?

Thats why my horroscopes have been wrong so many times.. I was just using time, date, location and planets (plus a moon) to calculate my astrological sign... I totally forgot to work the comet into the equation..
