    I saw we run out there, fetch it, and melt it and slam it into the moon! Then we could have another place to live!

    Yeah, not that it's possible or probible, but still . . . .

    What? A big meaty object in space?! If it came to Prince Charles' backdoor he'd be most pleased!! Because he's gay.

    We are so screwed....we can't see shit until it hits us.....I just hope this shit like this doesn't land in my backyard. If it landed in D. McBride's back yard I wouldn't complain.
