Can someone really Tell...

Hey, i got this on my mailbox an hour ago..

"Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs (1.5 days). During this time the US countries will be dark for 1.5 days.
It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs. We're very lucky to see this."

Ano sa tingin nyo , could this be true? Well, no one can tell. But I happened to read some text in the Old Testament before, but not so sure it was in the time of Moses or Joseph.. But there was a time that God made the land of the Israelites dark for 2-3 days, no light of the sun and was total darkness. If that was the case, thenit could be that on those times, on the other part of the world the sun continued to rise.. Does that make sense?
