Today: Ultra-close Asteroid Flyby So long as their calculations are correct, 5pm EST should come and go safely:
i particularly enjoy headlines that begin with the phrase, "Earth safe..."
Mostly harmless.
duck!
25k miles? Yikes! My grandmother more frequent flyer miles than that...
I thought I saw something out the window out of the corner of my eye...
It was discovered... *Monday*?! Isn't somebody supposed to be on the lookout for these things, or was their funding cut?
Um.
In the future.
At 5:00 p.m.
"Damn, I missed!" - God
in other news, seismologists report that california is 99% likely not to fall into the sea this afternoon.

As long as I get a fabulous *shriek* Sunsword, I'm down with it.
Wedge: turns out all space object observation stations are on the northern hemisphere, none in teh southern.
So I guess if we ever get hitby surprise, it's gonna be down the equator
(crieps, that came out sounding bad).
If it does, I'll let you know, Flagpole.
