It seems that to see a very bright GRB the narrow jet has to be pointing precisely at the EarthIf the GRB is close enough and the jet is pointed directly at us the Earth would be fried.

LOL. I love the image — I suspect that wasn’t the one you wanted.

Everybody’s missing the really *big* question here;

Alex Jones on George Noory's CoasttoCoastAM will reveal that Bush/Cheney arranged for the shot at the Earth.
Reptilian relations of Bush/Cheney aimed their "submission rays" at the Earth. We will all accept the cancellation of the general elections and Bush/Cheney will remain dictators.
Actually Bush-Cheney is one alien reptile that shape-shifts into any human form needed. Elvis even.

If:
something is headed towards you

(or 99.99995% thereof)
Then:
you won’t see it coming.

When someone says:
“this is what this thing looks like
that is 7.5 billion light years away...”
They are wrong.
That is what it looked like 7.5 billion years ago.
To: LibWhacker
"99.99995(%) of the speed of light..." But not the speed of light... asymptotic.

I’m sure this is Bush’s fault somehow. His failure to support global warming led to this event. Early adoption of hybrids and wind power could have avoided all the negative impact on women, children and minorities.
