X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth
Dr. Zowie writes "This morning a very large solar flare erupted from a
large sunspot group that is crossing the face of the Sun. The explosion sent over 2 billion tons of material hurtling across the solar system toward Earth. Movies from the SOHO spacecraft show the flare
in UV and the associated
coronal mass ejection in visible light as they happened, and the impact of high energy protons that the flare launched at about half the speed of light. NOAA's Space Environment Center shows that the Sun's X-ray brightness went up 100x during the flare. Expect more aurora and geomagnetic effects in the next day or two!"
FP fools, mod this offtopic, i dare you.

Have you ever considered:
(1) Inserting a finger up your anus?
2) Inserting two fingers up your anus?
3) Inserting three or more fingers up your anus?
4) Inserting a cock up your anus?
5) Becoming the next goatse-guy?
6) Getting a job as a Slashdot editor?

"And I for one welcome our new plasmotic overloards!"
3 people found that funny, and they all had mod points? Wow.
"Derp de derp."
The Palestinians, on the other hand, were rejoicing in the streets and handing out free candy to children.
"They" were? All of them, right? What you see on TV is all there is to know, right? Talk about racists......
