Asteroid "TU24" confirmed critical threat.

[Naraku]

Maybe the asteroid will release a plasma discharge, messing with the electronic voting machine and get Ron Paul a win in Florida!

At this point there is not much you could do to prepare for an impact.

More of this crap.

Look, it's not been a "blackout for 2 months" and the "scientists are not in on it". This has been on the NEO page since it first got discovered around October.

Geeze.

It's not going to hit us. Just like AF3 didn't hit us less than a week ago.. and did you notice any "plasma discharge" from that one?

An ASTEROID is comming??!!!! Did it come from the Bug planet Klendathu? Are the Bugs attacking?? Could this be war? Everybody in Buenos Aires better seek shelter!!!

LOL... I'm gonna rent and watch that movie on the 29th.

Perhaps THIS is the deadly wound? Hmm something will strike down the NWO.. I wonder what it will be?

LOl the US will soon be the new beunos aires.

Cool, lets catch it and put it into stable earth orbit. Think of all the neat stuff we could make right there in orbit.

I'll join for the co-ed showers.

Recently wasn't there a program on the Science Channel about an comet the size of the one that wiped out the dinosaurs hitting the earth and throwing back civilization back into the middle ages. It followed about a half dozen individuals around the world and showed whether or not they survived.

The middle ages really weren't much of a destination. Hopefully, if we're hit by an asteroid catapulting civilization back in time, it will be Enlightenment sized instead.

WOW... Coming within 500,000 miles?

WOW... Coming within 500,000 miles? VERY CLOSE... twice the distance of the MOON!

Closest APPROACH: JANUARY 29, 2007 mark your calendars!!!

KEEP an EYE IN THE SKY... should be getting BRIGHT !

Well, the moon's not as close as you think it is.

I just hope that the Russians and/or the Chinese don't turn on the weather machine and send a catastrophic hurricane over here, if the asteroid misses us.

it's neither- It's the Yakuza!

Actually this is pretty significant. Apparently it's at least 300 meters in diameter, much more than most recent near misses that I heard about. It also is coming closer than any asteroid that size has in recent years.

If I'm wrong someone correct me on that.

Well , it is closer than many asteroids, yes.. but it's still not a significant risk in any way.

I mean, look at it this way.. even when it WAS listed on the risk page, the odds of it hitting earth were equivellant to you being struck by lightning three times on the same day.

Now, the odds are even worse.

I wouldn't worry about it, honestly.

Oh I'm safe. I bought the Astroprotector XL 2500. It is made of a special light weight carbon that will protect me and my cat from impact.

I ordered online from backyardbombshelterastoprotector.com

Let the asteroid come. It will never get our guns.

 

[Give me liberty]

So? we got the nukes to destory it


Why do you think we have the nukes for anyway.
