No one who is familiar with physics, and sane, thinks that.


Actually, now I'm growing kind of fond of Jonathan's idea of raining
gigantic lunar boulder's down upon the world's cities. Consider it to be
an 'improvement' over the existing cities. Call it 'urban renewal'.


This should only be done if the boulders are painted bright yellow with
big black smiley-face markings. The launcher should be staffed by
professional mimes.
