We could have died on Monday?!

In intergalactic terms, it was a close shave. An asteroid capable of causing widespread devastation narrowly missed the Earth on Monday.

Although the nearest the asteroid came to Earth was 390,000 miles (627,644 kilometers), had it arrived four hours earlier on its journey around the sun it would have scored a direct hit.

Whew. That was a close one.

DAMN.... and that wasn't even in the news...

I suppose they don't want to scare the Jeebus out of people, so they keep it out of the news. Otherwise we'd have another cult who thought they were going to ride a comet or asteroid to heaven.

Bah thats Bull, news is just another business they were here to entertain you any way they can. While they can put in relevant info they LOVE death and doom stuff and would have milked this for all its worth if their produceres wanted them to run the story.
Nothing to do with wanting natiional sanity.

But they knew all along it wasn't going to hit.

Oh, you're just cranky because you failed the National Sanity Test.

They claimed i cheated and thus by default i failed.
How the hell can you cheat a National Sanity Test??

So they took away my 'sane' certificate i got in Highschool even though i tried to explain that one was for going through a drug program. *sighs* those bastard.

It'll be OK, I promise.
