And that is a small one....

150 feet across will take out more than a city. Think about all of the volcanic ash for the last 25 years being tossed into the atmosphere within a millisecond. That would take the edge of global warming for a few months.

Get used to eating canned food. Nothing will grow for about year. A sunny day at the beach would be a memory for a few years.

Starving will take folks minds off Brittany though. So we got that going for us.

Those odds are better than my picking the winner in any given football game on any given day. I think I'm about 0 fer 1000 over the last few years.

Not even close. Mining asteroids for steel to build pipelines for natural gas and water is my interest. Bombardment by arachnoids is somebody else’s pipedream.
