Welcome to Gaia! ::

November 8, 1812:

"It was perhaps nine o"clock, an intensely dark night, and many of us were already asleep--a sleep contumely broken by the cold and the pain we suffered from fatigue and hunger...I had just finished my miserable supper of horse's liver, with snow for drink...we were roused by an extraordinary noise. This was the north wind traveling over the forests, bringing with it heavy snow and twenty-seven degrees of frost, so that it became quite impossible for the men to stay where they had camped. We heard them shouting as they ran about towards any fire they saw; but the heavy snow-storms caught them, and they could soon run no more, or if they tried to do so, they fell and never rose again. In this way many hundreds perished, and thousands died of those who had stayed where they were camped" (Bourgogne, p 64).

The Winter War, 1940s:
Winter descended with a ferocity that was unknown to anyone west of Russia. The German troops were completely unprepared. Supply of winter clothing had been forbidden, because that would cast doubt on the General Staff prediction that the Soviet Union would collapse before the first snow.

Fools. These gaians have been sheltered and spoiled for too long. This world has disintegrated far too much for this to continue. These gaians' demeanor sickens me. So. I shall strike first, let it be known that I move hard and fast, and when I do, I slice, like a goddamn hammer. Few have ever seen true winter... so... beware that white figure u see in towns might just be me about to engulf the world in snow and ice! AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAAAAA!!!!!!!


For the planet gaia, Winter *will* come early

*somewhere in barton, amidst static over the radio, a strange signal comes over the waves.* *Static, then voice: we're receiving the first reports of crop circles in some town out there.... whzzzzhzhouuuu u trees have become pine tre zzzshwouuuuuu the bushes.. .where the bushes in this town once lay there are now what appear to be eggs..... whzzzzzzzzzzz* *Deep undergound below Cindy Donovinh's studio* *indistinct voices* ... look at this... this is impossible.. .the point source is only 384,403 km away! .... there's some kind of binary sequence in the signal, but its decaying every cycle.... switch to the negative sideband......

That's a lot of gold for someone with 8 posts.
