I thought this was pretty neat. People thought
comets/meteors were ushering in or out great people.

Like Jesus and the Star of Bethelham.

Or ushering great people out like Julius Ceaser.
The Romans minted a coin showing a shooting star that
was seen right after his death.

Or how about Bar Kochba "son of the star" Lead revolt
against Rome and was defeated by Rome. Declared by the
Jews to be the Messiah.Later became known as the son
of deceit.

Or the Indian Chief Tesumech the night of his birth a
meteor was seen. To them the Great Black Panther
moved thru the night sky and was their most prized
icon.


Another neat story is. Samuel Clemens, more commonly
known as Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri on
Nov. 30, 1835. He held many different jobs during his
lifetime. Among them, a reporter, a publisher, and a
riverboat pilot. In 1862 Sam began writing for many
magazines and newspapers under the pen name of Mark
Twain, a name taken from a riverboat term. Twain was a
great writer, his three best books were Roughing It,
The adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn. His books sold many copies. One of
his books, A Tramp Abroad sold 25,000 copies. The
year he was born, Halley's Comet passed over. Twain
vowed that he would not die until he saw the famous
comet. Then, just before he died Halley's Comet passed
over. He died the next day; April 21st, 1910, at 6:30
p.m. Mark Twain stopped breathing.

In the Jewish language of Hebrew their is no word for
coindence nor it's concept..................
