New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth

Stephen Lau writes "ScienceDaily has an article talking about the new NASA maps that reveal the geography of the North American continent in amazing detail. One of the maps provides strong evidence of a 112 mile wide, 3000 foot deep impact crater which they believe was the comet/asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs and more than 70% of Earth's living species 65 million years ago."

    Yeah, let's hope it hits Canada next time instead of Mexico.

    Better yet, let it hit France. Their white flags would be useless against it.

    A major reason for your GDP is because your country was founded on slave labour; helping it become the richest country in the world in no time at all.

    90% of us live within the US border for the simple fact that the climate is friendlier further south.

    We don't manufacture our own brand of cars. And we also drive european cars.

    I presume you mean fast food? Well, for the people that do eat that stuff, it is because those franchises entrenched themselves into the fast food business...

    When you are NOT talking about fast food, the MAJORITY of the ENTIRE WORLD eats Canadian food (i.e. Grains).

    We did until your markets burst... As you will notice, Canada's economy is not faltering, it remains strong. Our markets are not collapsing as yours did, and our people are not being put into poorhouses.
