Flashes, booms reported over Washington

What if the rock happens to do some damage on the ground? say some homes or a
school, both hopefully unoccupied.

Will that give nasa a new important mission?

Given kerrys campaign commercial knocking bushes moon and mars idea. A nice
impact might be the only way to get nasa moving again
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Such as the development of meteorite-resistant roofing materials? No doubt.

Or if we're really lucky, perhaps we'll be invaded by evil aliens!

Millions of people live on / near active volcanos, that can and
sometimes do kill them in a matter of minutes.

Tornados bankrupt tens of thousands of yankee farmers, who are stupid
enough to occupy Manitou's land.

It is 1000 times more likely than a deep space impact, that San
Francisco will be flattened by an earthquake.

Thanks to Uncle Sam spewing all dirt into the air, global warming and
rising sea levels will kill or drive away hundreds of millions of people
in the next decades, causing brutal wars, famine, epidemics and all
other kinds of humanitarian disasters.

A celestial object visiting us through the roof is the least of our
concern. Of course, neocons and Tellers want to find some excuse to
develop brand new wonder weapons and death rays.

Darn right. I've got the back yard and the grill, or we can meet at
the Museum of Flight. I still say we get a couple of microbrews in Brad
and he'd probably loosen up a bit.

....Well, as you'll recall we were looking at doing an ssh gathering at
KSC for '00 or '01, and rk had started on the preliminary footwork,
but the **** that the Maxson trash caused wound up souring the whole
deal as, then, we didn't know just how chicken **** the whole family
was, and there was some fear that the little hire-a-pig would show up
and start shooting people in his father's sick name.

We really need to consider starting this up again. No sense letting
the terrorist scum screw with our fun any longer...

Neither did I. I saw a pretty spectacular one about a month ago, but

....That was probably one of those OfficeJets sent up to ISS back when

to get it's **** together on it's W2K drivers, they were jettisoned in
protest.

is a list I put together a while ago about human injuries; I don't have
the source book to hand (a friend has it ATM), but you can take a
reasonable guess as to the order of magnitude.

(hint: infrastructure has a bigger footprint than people)

Gee If we had a serious strike, followed by a mankind killingimpact predicted
in say 15 years do you seriously believe we would just stand around waiting for
mankind to die?
