Paranoid Times: The World Could End Soon And You May Die!

Obby Wan Kenobi, you got a very important point there bud, but let's not forget that objects in space move by principles of perpetual motion...

That's actually not entirely true. Objects in space continue moving in a direction under the influence of gravitational fields of larger bodies around it. If a meteor encounters a large enough mass with considerable gravitational pull, its trajectory can be altered.

see people.....he's not an empty vessel after all....let me introduce you to my smart geek (that's right i said 'geek' and not 'greek') friend phil......

Are you referring to people dancing in the club Space influenced by larger bodies dancing around them? I'm sure the large, fat, sweating bodies of drunk dancers are enough to alter the paths of smaller, lighter, steller bodies into larger orbits further from them.

With the size of that vessel of a head, he must be smart if that melon isn't filled with empty air. He doesn't know jack about planes though.

Phillipio wasn't always smart. He used to be a mindless airhead without a clue. But then his family and friends urged him to attend a seminar about rocket science and higher intelligence, that was attended by scientists, scholars, physicists, professors, and many more of the worlds top thinking thinkers. So Phillipio went and listened to the speakers, clueless to what was going on, surrounded by smart poople on all sides.

Then, tragically, there was an assassination attempt on one of the smart asses at the podium, by an anti-science zealot who tried to make the guy go dead, but instead shot Phillip in the head. The bullet opened a hole in Phillip's empty cranium and exposed its emptiness to the outside air. And then, suddenly and without warning, just as nature abhors a void, a collosal suckage of air rushing into the emptiness of the skull cavity--like the air that sucks passengers out of a hole in the hull of a pressurized plane--and several scientists and similar top thinkers, with a great thunderclap, were sucked through the hole to fill the former void of his giant noggin.

And that is why it is said that Phillipio has the collective mind of many so-called smart men and women, and now the poor bastards are stuck there forever.

Asteroid to be visible Monday

Kilometre-wide asteroid will come about as close to the earth as the moon

Jun. 30, 2006. 08:03 PM

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — A huge asteroid will have a relatively close encounter with Earth this weekend but astronomers said there is no danger of an impact.

The asteroid, known as 2004 XP14, will whiz by about 433,000 kilometres from the Earth, slightly farther away than the moon.

The ringside seat to the cosmic spectacle will be in North America, where amateur sky watchers with good telescopes should be able see the asteroid as a small moving dot in the sky. Europe can also view the flyby but the asteroid will appear much fainter.

The closest approach will occur on the U.S. West Coast at about 9:25 p.m. local time Sunday but the best viewing time on both coasts will most likely be early Monday, scientists said.

Astronomers know little about the asteroid, which was discovered in 2004. But it is estimated to be as wide as one kilometre based on its brightness.

More than three dozen asteroids have flown closer to Earth in the last few years but scientists said 2004 XP14 is one of the largest.

"For something of this size to come this close is unusual," said Don Yeomans, who heads the Near Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Yeomans said the asteroid will pose no threat to Earth during the impending encounter, nor in the next 100 years. Scientists estimate 2004 XP14 will have 10 more close encounters with Earth over this century.

"It's not Earth-threatening," Yeomans said.

Scientists plan to use a giant radar beacon at the Goldstone Observatory in the Mojave Desert to bounce signals off the asteroid as it flies by. The return signal should help scientists determine the asteroid's shape and its future course through space.

As viewed from Earth, 2004 XP14 is expected to cut through the constellations Andromeda, Perseus and Cassiopeia.

The asteroid will look like a streaking dot against a background of stationary stars, said Roger Sinnott, a senior editor at Sky & Telescope magazine.

let venezuela give iran the f16's who teh fuck cares... theose backeards morons wouldnt know what he fuck to do with one if they saw one..and besides we have f22 raprors which can shread an f16 to bits from 6 miles away....they dont have the skilled pilots of the US so fuck iran and venezuela
