That Awkward Moment When The World Doesn't End

[Elephant]

Oh and Mike, I have only one question for you!

If the moon were made of BBQ spare ribs, would you eat it? It's a simple question! Just say yes so we can move on!

 

[Lanky Livingston]

I know I would! Heck, I'd go back for seconds!

 

[renaissance]

Wait! I was being serious!

Yeah Ren, I saw her. She was a little out of shape and hadn't really thought things out very well. I think the guy who lives in LA and is learning to live of the local fauna has a few screws loose too.

I think the couple in Vermont are the only ones I have seen who really weren't looking for the end as much as what you say, they are just being self sustaining. Reminds me a lot of my youth when I would spend time with relatives in the country who actually lived that way...because it was normal. Good thing I learned how to garden, can, milk, and raise livestock for slaughter. But I gotta admit, I like being able to go to the grocery store better.

There was also the family that turned their small Arizona backyard into a farm on which they raised chickens, fish, and a variety of plants. That was actually pretty impressive to me.

I didn't see them, but you can have Arizona. I am not a fan of the desert. If/when it comes, I want to be in the mountains!

Edit: Yeah, I know there are Mts in Arizona, but it's still dessert.

Uh...I've heard of Baked Alaska for dessert but what's Arizona's? Pie? Cake? Frozen yogurt?

 

[Elephant]

I know I would. Id wash it down with a tall, cool Budweiser! I guess Im just as curious as a cat. Thats why my friends call me Whiskers.

I know we've recently gone through this, but it never gets old!

Oh and Serv, what...ev...er!

the odds of an asteroid hitting are 1 in a zillion

Watch out, the sky may be falling...... with chances a lot less then a zillion

The near earth asteroid 2012 DA14 discovered last year is not going to hit Earth next year, scientists say. Phew. And yet, it will still be coming in way too close for comfort (17,000 miles away--closer than many orbiting satellites), and may hit us the next time around, in 2020, or on another orbit in the more distant future.

Full story

From Wiki
"There is estimated to be a cumulative 0.021% chance (1 in 4,760) of 2012 DA14 impacting Earth sometime between 2020 and 2057."

Hmmm one in less then 5K chance, though the odds of the 2020 impact are a bit higher, 1 in 83000. It's a small asteroid, only 120,000 metric tons, so it's no planet killer. "

If it were to strike the Earth, it is estimated that it would be of a similar scale as the Tunguska impact."

Wiki link

"The explosion knocked over an estimated 80 million trees covering 2,150 square kilometres (830 sq mi). It is estimated that the shock wave from the blast would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. An explosion of this magnitude is capable of destroying a large metropolitan area."
