My personal thought is that the rock, moving at 50K to 100K mph, and
striking the ground, has the energy to take out a good sized city, i.e.,
Detroit or St. Louis.


Of the two, I pick Detroit. If Detroit is closed, Paris, France, and
then Paris, Texas.

Can I put a vote in for Vegas? Anyone that has been forced to attend a

leap from the top floor.

**** the airport.

Why the hell do you need to fly into SLC anyway? Even Denver's a better
