since it's going to be closer to the moon we might be able to see it. so I guess a telescope is needed.
I have a good pair of binoculars so I will use those. This is interesting. NASA will probably get some pictures anyway.

I like it how no one gives a fuck now. If it was in 2012 people would freak their shit out.

Pekka Fucking has said it is no danger. It is only an old alien shitsausage, that is passing by.
Apropos passing by. Will you be more visible this Thanksgiving? In that case I will bring lots, lots of Nomnomnoms...

Re: Huge Asteroid Headed Close to Earth
Yeah, you're right. Also, there were a bunch of little earthquakes in the Midwest yesterday, which would have given the Pagans and Bible thumpers alike something to discuss!If it was in 2012 people would freak their shit out.
But, I don't think it's funny to the Okies who lived there, though.

Yeah and a huge one in Turkey just a few weeks ago but I guess that since it didn't happen in America it doesn't really exist.Also, there were a bunch of little earthquakes in the Midwest yesterday

Re: Huge Asteroid Headed Close to Earth
"a few weeks ago" I think is the defining term. Of course we knew it existed, the story was on the news every night for two weeks! Don't be such a smartass about it, you do not live in Turkey, either!mayhem-for-all wrote:Yeah and a huge one in Turkey just a few weeks ago but I guess that since it didn't happen in America it doesn't really exist.Also, there were a bunch of little earthquakes in the Midwest yesterday
I was just mentioning those earthquakes because they happened at a much closer time with the astroid fly-by on Tuesday.

Tonights the night!!!!!
This particular asteroid is not a planet killer, but it would be a pain in the ass for a while if it did hit Earth. Produce 70-foot tidal wave, 7.0 earthquake, and a crater 4-miles in diameter. Odds are it would hit Oklahoma---they had bad tornadoes yesterday on top of everything else. WTF are they getting bullied by Mother Nature for?
