Large Asteroid Impact Likely -- But Not For A While

Posted by timothy on from the everything-that-rises-must-converge dept.

The good news is, the impact wouldn't happen until 16 March 2880; and the solutions suggested by the scientists don't involve Tea Leoni or Bruce Willis."

    I know this is going to get modded down as off-topic but that Bruce Willis Asteroid flick was one of the worst movies I ever seen.

    Except maybe Face-Off with John Revolta.

    I want to take his face off, face off.

    I'm Casteur troy! I'm Casteur Troy!

    Palease. Oh another thing Halle Beerry should have lost the academy award the minute she decided to star in operation swordfish with Revolta.
