Giant asteroid may destroy most life on Earth in 2041

[surfsatwerk]

And I feel fine.

Edit: Woot, only 1k left to go.

 

[manimal]

I'll be 77, probably drooling and in a diaper. Can we shoot for 2037 instead.

just think, dementia +VR means you will experience all your favorite things for the first time every time!

I told my wife to play star wars and show me her boobs every day if I get dementia.

Maybe there's more than one typo. Maybe it's 2014?

The reference to the correct date and asteroid is my earlier post. No planetary reboot happening.

Good thing I spend all of my retirement on Meteor Bonds.

No. Asteroids are straight. Comets are gay. Everybody knows this.

That last comet sure was a flamer.

 

[lozina]

The asteroid is calculated to have a potentially lethal encounter with the Earth on March 35, 2041.

Hey that's on my birthday! Which I oddly never get to celebrate... :hmm:

 

[kage69]

We will just nuke it from orbit.

Literally.

Nuke detonation + no atmosphere = fuck all


Blowing it up isn't a good idea, we need to alter it's course so that it zips by us.

So just a normal weekend for you?

The fam is in NY for a week.....:whiste:

Party at my house.

Why wait for dementia.

If they were able to discover some asteroid deemed highly likely to destroy us, would we find out about it on the news ahead of time? Or would it be kept secret as long as possible in interest of preserving law and order?

If NASA erupts in a gigantic, unexplained orgy, then you'll know that the big one is near, so to speak.

Oh wow another Dave prediction thread turning into a trainwreck? <3

But seriously, only suckers are going to stick around to be incinerated by fire, murdered by shockwave, or starved from the ensuing winter.

I'm going out like a boss, by selling all my stuff and doing a ton of coke and hookers on the 34th.

There are too many independent projects working on NEO cataloging. They are not .gov employees, and odds that the community would not get the word out are > 1:2.04

I'd feel sorry for females at NASA, they're probably outnumbered 25-1 or so.

I feel sorry for the 22 out of every 25 guys who are late to the party and have to look around at each other and make some interesting life decisions.

2045 is my retirement year.... well,.. f the 401(k) then.

 

[Ruptga]

Zero to fail in four posts, three if you count OP's doublepost as one post. Either way, that's ownage of the year material.

 

[zinfamous]

It's also completely false.

'1 in 2.04' chance? someone either made that up entirely, or doesn't know how to read the numbers on this stuff. The probability of 2006 XG1 impacting the Earth is currently at ZERO, I believe, although it has been a non-zero probability in the past (i.e. it has to be acknowledged as 'possible,' but that in no way means at all probable).

Yeah, but it happens on March 35th. Days like that have their own math.

If I posted pic of her online I would be coming over with that bottle of makers mark and sleeping on the couch.


Man I wish you were close I would be over RIGHT NOW trying to convince you to play drunk golf or darts.

Couch? Post 'em and you can have the kids bed until he gets home on Thursday.


I don't play golf but I have a lot of guns. Funner when drunker?

Your abuse and misuse of bolding in this quote had me briefly confused on multiple levels.

You guys joke, but what they are taking into account is the Basketball Savings Act of 2031, enacted by the US congress to extend the NCAA basketball tournament.

Dont'!

Your 401k will pay for a lot of hookers & blow before the ELE (Extinction Level Event).

You're not thinking logically.

Do you think anyone will be SELLING hookers and blow during an ELE?

Money becomes worthless holmes.

The trick is to spend money on hooker and blow stockpiles well in advance.
