Asteroid Impact in 2014 Ruled Out | |
2003-09-04 | |
EFL/FU:
You can cancel your impact party. In our Impact Risk Page for 2003 QQ47, the entry for the year 2014 has now disappeared, although a number of potential impact events remain for later years. We expect that these too will be ruled out in the coming days as astronomers continue to track the object and we refine our orbit predictions. It’s the one they don’t see coming that’ll get us. | |

#12 Not to forget the Murky Troid, who "is by far Throsby Creek's longest and most famous resident. Murky remembers how he and his friends would play amongst the mangroves and then frolic with the sharks in Throsby Creek. But the creek became polluted they had nowhere to play. :( Even murkier is of course troid.org where murky islamic sheiks come out to play... |

#9 "I say we start a HUGE party about Summer 2013 and just keep it going until the big day. About a month prior we all sober up and start an all-out war against anybody who has ever said anything bad about the U.S. (starting with Canada). About a week prior we should launch a premptive nuclear strike on France, Germany, Syria, and the PRC. Ok CyberSarge, hand me your stripes NOW, you have been condemned to 10 years of cleaning French showers. Oh wait.... |

#5 "What a bummer. I cashed out of Blue Cap stocks and had everything in liquid oxygen storage and Tang futures. Guess I'm good for breakfast drink though." OK, you got the breakfast drink angle covered, but what are you going to do with the tang? |
