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."
This is awesome! We should stop wasting money on war and increase NASA's budget immediately!
Funny how the US is ready to spend many, many billions of dollars to disarm a 2-bit egomanical dictor in some remote oil-laden sandbox, but wouldn't on the best day stop to ponder committing that level of resource to investigating defenses from cosmic meanaces such as these. I guess we'll have to wait until I meteor hits the Pentagon or some other well known structure before we can talk about it!
Pimpin' all the Karma Hoes!
And this crater is from her ass!!!!
Please mod down the AC's goatsex-tainted posting, plz, thx!
Now I'm dying for some Dinosaur BBQ...
Slashdot is like Playboy: I read it for the articles
Ever notice there were no niggers on the Flintstones?
They were still monkeys back then.
I think NASA has demonstrated that not only are they not capable of such a mission, they would just lie about it afterwards.
Dammy
Better yet, let it hit France. Their white flags would be useless against it.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.
He is a moron, but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this.
We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

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.
