High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid

Posted by kdawson on from the october-sky dept.

Several readers sent us the story of three high school sophomores in Racine, Wisconsin who were just notified that a celestial body they had discovered during a science project has been verified as an asteroid. The students at Racine's Prairie School will be given the opportunity to name the asteroid in about four years. They used a telescope in New Mexico, belonging to a college in Michigan, that they controlled over the Net.

    The students will have to decide on naming the asteroid one of two things:

    • Giant Douche
    • Turd Sandwich

    Did anybody here imagine they were all BLACK students? Of course not.
    But remember, "We're all the same", or so the Jews keep telling us...

    America has about ten years and then it will literally collapse: there are too many useless third world parasitic savages living there, and the sooner you whites wake up and demand separation from them, the better.
