DURING a recent interview renowned Australian expert astronomer Barry F. Moon announced that an extraordinary astronomical event was about to occur. At exactly 5:08 pm on Wednesday April 1st 2026, the planet Pluto would pass directly behind Jupiter, in relation to the Earth. This rare alignment would mean that the combined gravitational force of the two planets would exert a stronger tidal pull, temporarily counteracting the Earth’s own gravity and making people weigh less for a few seconds. Mr. Moon calls this the Plutonian Gravitational Elevational Effect. Mr. Moon told people that they could experience the phenomenon by jumping in the air at the precise moment the alignment occurred. If they did so, he promised, they would experience a strange floating sensation. But Mr. Moon went on to add that people should be careful because the last time the Plutonian Gravitational Elevational Effect occurred, some people reported they had taken a running jump instead of a normal jump which resulted in them hitting the roof. Other reports came in that some people on the heavier side were weighing themselves at the precise time and the scales reflected this. When the Federal Government were asked to comment they said they were trying to work out a way of taxing this strange event which happens to be occurring on April 1st this year.
