There is no chance that asteroid 1998 QE2 could collide with Earth this go-around.

But Asteroids Geitherner QE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are already wrecking havoc on this planet.

“Black sticky stuff”

Is this an elephant joke? But with asteroids? Where is the punch line?

Oh, it’s Barack Obama and the laugh is on us.

I'm gonna send my cable payment early, so I'll still have internet, if that happens.

That's one of my biggest fear in life, losing internet access. Is there one of those phobia names for that? LOL

If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global extinction.

The one that took out the dinosaurs was estimated at about six miles in size; at 1.7 miles this one is a poor challenger. And the mammals and numerous reptiles survived, somehow.

If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global warming extinction...........there, fixed it......

Oh, asteroid! I thought it said dark, massive a$$, and I was wondering how Moochelle was flying. Got the broomstick out again?

Thanks Red Badger.

It's 1.7 miles long. Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue.
