Oh, great: another "scientist" is on the loose. Time to move to another planet, I guess.
I worry more about sooner than later, too.
Nemo was finally found right before the crabs hovering the sewer, finding him guilty, and about to lacesset him, by Ellen DeGeneres.
All is well.
ROFLMAO..............yup......without Kyoto all those greenhouse gases and CO2 are forming asteroids millions of miles away......damn that Bush......jeeze........
Hell, the core of the planet could vent enough gas one day to poison the atmosphere, the sun could go into a phase that destroys all life, or a black hole could swallow us up.
I had a fair day today, hope to had a better one tomorrow, but if it all ends tonight I will go gracefully. My only regret being that I did not learn how to be at peace with myself sooner.
I grew up fearing atomic bombs during the cold war. After that, nothing much bugs me anymore.

lol. I remember those days.. don't eat the yellow snow, it may be radioactive ,, uurrr, no wait a minute, that was something else.
Mark your calendars. Especially the Mayan ones.
Scared the crap out of everyone.
Fun days.........
Oh, this one wouldn't end life on earth or anything; wouldn't want to be within a hundred miles or so of the impact though......
Unsure of the tsunami size if it hit an ocean; 1,600 megatons is a lot less energy than the Chilean Earthquake of 1960 (largest quake known) at 11,000 megatons.
Now that you mention it, that asteroid diagram has some strange, metaphorical resemblance to Algore, although I'm not quite sure what it is.
I'll be 74 by then...still alive to experience the excitement (probably the only excitement I can get at that age)...but old enough to not give a s*#t whether I survive it or not!
Sell now!! don't wait to the last minute!!
GREAT book!
2029? That one will be making the rubble bounce on my headstone.
>>GREAT book!
Yes sir! I will always think of Lucifer's Hammer when I think of good sci-fi subject material. Larry Niven is at the top of my list. I just re-read "Inferno" last week, which is definitely a one of a kind book. I just wish Niven would pump out a few more! :)

I thought I hallucinated this thread last night but here it is again.
I'd better move my car.
