We just need them to all hit the oceans, so no-one gets hurt.
It could splash down off the coast of Lady Gaga's house, when she's entertaining Courtney Love and Rosie O'Donnell... wipe them off the face of the Earth in one fell swoop.

Seriously? Do you not think that a meteor powered tsunami would wreak some havoc when it made landfall? Look what happened when a quake roiled up the oceans a couple years back. That's nothing compared to what an impact at several hundred mph by a meteor would do. The shockwave would be catastrophic, biblical even. And if it's big enough, well, just take a good look at the Gulf of Mexico on a map sometime. That's no naturally occurring near perfectly circular inlet. Most likely that was the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. With meteors, I'd say that landfall is far less dangerous than oceanfall.

We are talking ones the size of what was seen today. That would not start Huge Tsunami's.

Also let a Huge one hit NY, CA, China, London...ETC...And let me know if Landfall is less Dangerous.

We'd tell him not to come, just to make sure he'd show up.

I'd add Honey Boo-Boo to the list as well, but in truth.. her parents deserve such punishment, not the kid herself. I've never seen that show, nor do I ever plan on doing so, but... that's just gross.

That's some crazy footage and indeed reminiscent of Smallville's pilot episode. It's cool to see these clips especially the one showing the complete descent.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: More on Asteroid "2012 DA14" on Friday, but until then: Twitter / neiltyson: More on Asteroid "2012 DA14" ...

World media cover up of downing of alien spacecraft by Russian Air Force.






I, for one, welcome our new insect Overlords.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Yeah, but take into account if it affected the fault lines. 60% of Cali's population is washed away and phoenix is beachfront.

Let it land in AZ we have been through it before and can take the beating.
