FINALLY we get someone else to blame. Congratulations. It’s your fault.

That's why I bought the entire living room suit with no payment or interest until 2014...I should have shared my secret - shoot me!

It’s a very nice CGI but anybody who thinks there will be one stone left upon another as far as human structures go, after a 500 KM meteor strike anywhere on this planet, is dreaming. That scorched Parthenon looming over Athens burning makes a striking visual but it’s completely unrealistic as a result.

I suspect that such massive asteroids sometimes have “chunks” from previous collisions flying near them, so when there is a close encounter to Earth, these chunks might get caught in our gravity, from several days before to several days after the big asteroid.

19 light seconds away is pretty far.

3,534,000 miles, to be exact.

Well, it's far enough away, that I'm not riding my bicycle there this weekend.

I've done EME bounce on 2 meters, and that's far enough away to wait for a return signal.

Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue.

Are we talking about the driver's side floor mat in my wife's car here????

Right. And it doesn’t look like that is going to change any time soon.

We were putting some cabinets in an over the garage apartment a few years back next to a 3 million dollar vacation home and the electricians had put the the can lights too close to the wall so our crown molding covered half the light(s). I told the boss we could make the cabinets a bit shallower and he told me you couldn’t put anything in an 8 inch deep cabinet. I told him you could stack beanee weenees 2 deep. He told me with a really disgusted look, “THESE PEOPLE DON’T EAT BEANEE WEENEES”. I still laugh.

Maybe we’ll get an early Christmas present and it’ll liquidate DC.

Like most everything that gets sent to DC it will end up a squishy horrible mess that screw over the rest of the country and world...
