Would this still be Bush’s fault?

Yeah--Jeb Bush.

Not to worry. Astrobama will save us.

[BlueDragon]

"...No one should worry...these objects are coming near the earth all the time..."

I feel so much better now.

[Tanniker Smith]

I watched Stargate: SG-1!
Apophis didn't try to kill us with an asteroid!
Anubis did!

Get your facts straight!

I wonder if NASA is still confused by that metric-English thing.

[Post Toasties]

Two football fielda? About like a large atomic bomb, but nothing that will wipe out anything outside of a 50 mile radius or so. Sorry to disappoint all of those eagerly hoping for Armageddon.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Hey! Maybe this thing could land on some vacant housing tracts in Vegas and change forever the global housing market!

Hmmm... Just one year after Social Security runs dry.

I would say its a possibility that we may experience an extreme but temporary magnetic pole shift before the end of this year.

A complete reversal would be....well....a BIG EFFING DEAL!

I picked a bad week to quit smoking. ;)

[Blood of Tyrants]

I remember when I thought my current age was old.

About 8 times bigger that the largest bomb ever made. In round numbers 400+Mt.

Crater diameter ≈5km.

I was thinkin bout quitting, but now I’m too stressed out by the idea that I’ve only got another 20+ years to live- I’ll probably up my cigarette count so that hopefully I die earlier than 2036 as I don’t particularly want to die by getting hit on the head with a rock- how embarrasing

VFW, Livermore Falls. April 13, 2036. My 104th Birthday Party. I am moving it up from the actual date in September, just in case.

RSVP. Regrets only.

On the up side, the earth gets whacked before
the UNIX time stamp rolls over in 2038.

[pankot]

S**t! I’ll only be 94—that’s too young to go!

[Vendome]

Note to self:

Perfectly okay to stay everyday in the year 2036.

“Hmmm... Just one year after Social Security runs dry.”

Maybe we’ve been underestimating the ability of our overlords to plan ahead...No wonder they keep kicking the entitlements crisis down the road.
