    it was going to hit the earth and cause a massive extinction of the human race...
    I highly doubt we will be told about it. Instead, our world leaders will gather in a cave somewhere with their mistresses and 500 years worth of refried beans...that ought to keep the human race going.

    Much like I'd pay a mechanic at the stealership for a 30 dollar oil change? heak! I could do my own oil but I do it for 2 reasons:
    1. I'm currenetly under warranty. Yes, I can buy my own oil, save the receipts, yaddda yadda OR I can have the stealer monkey do it for me, it gets documented in the dealer's computer, and volia! my warrany work will hopefully be done, when it needs to be done (hopefully)
    2. I live in an apartment complex where its hard to store stuff, so its much easier to take it out and do it.
