Another Asteroid Close Call

Posted by Hemos on from the it-just-wanted-to-say-hi dept.

james was one of a number of people that submitted the news that the earth has had another near miss, this time with an asteroid. This particular one is thought to be about 300 meters in length, meaning that if it had struck the earth, it would have destroyed an area of say...South Africa. Not to mention the fall out. But we don't need a better system for watching the stars. Nope. Obviously not.

    How about the small Redmond company? Maybe we could arrange a meeting between the MPAA, the RIAA, all the corrupt politicians etc. at MS HQ at the time of impact?

    Bruce Willis is a big girl's blouse. Too scared to get on an aeroplane, let alone a Shuttle!
    We should call him Wussy Willis in future!
