Meanwhile, in global asteroid disaster news

turns out there's this youtube guy who believes that the GREAT DAYLIGHT FIREBALL of 1972 was two miles across and not just 10-45 ft as the authorities wd have us believe

he's basing it on triangulation and the famous linda baker video and i suspect him of at least two very basic errors but he's a bad narrator and it's hard to say

if he's right it was a near miss extinction-wise tho!

I noticed earlier that netflix have a not very good christmas treat in store - a movie about this scenario being imminent and nobody gaf ... sort of Meh..loncholia

i'm excited about it!

It might be ok. I was re-watching Meloncholia the other day and thinking it isn't a great movie but the last hour of it is utterly fantastic.

well that's a rogue planet rather than asteroid but that's how Von Tryhard rolls!

oh i meant i was excited abt the coming mass extinction i dont care abt the stupid movie

when it happens I don't want to be that character dismissing it as a fly pass and then going into the stables to blow my brains out when I realise the end is coming. I want to watch it happen!

Sorry guys... but we'll blow it out of the sky:
