Disaster Averted!

[Twentyover]

Brian Williams (NBC Anchor) just reported that we just missed getting hit (45,000 miles) by a near earth asteroid. It was reported to be as large as a 10 story building,and would have had the impact 130 megaton warhead.

You know what they say, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Such a natural disaster would certainly put things into perspective.

And they only discovered it a week ago. It's size however has not been determined. They said it was between 68 and 152 feet across. It would have been disasterous but not "world ending".

Makes you wonder why nothing was said earlier about this to give people ample warning.

Yea, a little heads up would have been nice! At least so I could go do all the things I like to do one last time.

Like rob a bank or shoot your boss in the face? Maybe that was the reason we weren't told. It probably helped me not cheat on my wife!

For the few of us left!

It would certainly show the human race that which is true disaster and devastation. This recession is killing everyone, myself included, but this would really kill us.

Off Topic: We'd probably have a more definitive idea of whether an asteroid impact actually caused the extinction of Dinosaurs. Many scientists have challenged this once widely-accepted theory in the past several years.

I bet they didn't want to mess up their lineup of slit your throat news with such a positive experience. People may just have got up off the couch, went outside, and went for a walk, called their mom, or just cracked a smile. We can't have that in such a global recession.

LOL...I am alive! I haven't posted on the public forums in quite a while, but I've been around, lurking. How have you been, Jimmy?

I hope to be much more active on the forums from here on out.

[shmoov69]

I'm doing alright. My second boy is supposed to be hatching in a couple weeks. You married yet?! LOL. How's the car?

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Good to hear, Jimmy.

Congratulations on your boy! Another future PT'er.

Not married yet, LOL. Car is doing good. Need to smooth the firewall and drip rails and then it's ready for paint (and drivetrain / suspension, haha).
