We're doomed

Asteroid to hit Earth

"A HUGE asteroid spinning at an "impossible" rate is hurtling toward Earth, on track to wipe out human life ..."































..."but not until March 16, 2880."

We'll all be rooned.

Probably a little early to stop buying long playing records.

"March 16"

Phfttt!! The Musi's will have taken over the world by then.

Hockey might have passed his budget by then too.

Just as I was about to make a game changing breakthrough in my research for the elixir of eternal life.

I'm not going to bother following it up now.

Does that mean we need not give a f*ck about future generations and just use as much resources as possible?

You say that like humans are actually smart enough NOT to do that!!   

True that. Have to rephrase that, at least I won't have to hear about conservation any longer and pretend to give an interest in LED lighting (although admittedly, I am enjoying their power rating).

Phew, looks like we dodged a bullet

"...another team of scientists looked into this. They found that the probability of an impact in 2880 is about 2.48 x 10-4, which is about 1 in 4,000."

----------------------------------

Not the 1 in 300 chance reported by a Brit tabloid. I guess Global Warming scientists can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Asteroid 1950 DA will not impact (*cough*) their funding.

so back to reducing you carbon footprint Skully!

That's one of the excuses a former boss of mine used to use for not attending meetings!!!   

smart boss....I have tried the unintended methane effect in the same way...find I am now infrequently invited to meetings
