No, I meant Abstract, you fule. He's the one hiding behind children.

Don't worry. I got it the first time

Doh!

We all have to die one day. Nothing any of us can do to prevent that.

Well, you could commit suicide at night.

Well, you could commit suicide at night.

But it would still be day out in space. Night only exists in a little cone behind each planet.

(Yeah, that's desperate I know )

There's some interesting data on Wikipedia that refutes the 2029 date...

Despite the fact that there is no longer any significant probability of an Earth impact, The Planetary Society is offering a $50,000 prize for the best plan to put a tracking device on or near the asteroid.

Great stuff – we all ought to put our heads together, come up with a plan and split the cash. With the problem solving ingenuity shown on these forums it should be a piece of cake.

Anyway, I don't know how they can work out exactly where it's going to go. The footage in yellow's link shows it's weaving about all over the shop. It could end up anywhere...

*** begins working on way to convert mad jew posts to a form of thrust ***

*** begins to think a solution is at hand ***

He can always thrust the asteroid away, Im sure he has the thrusting action to do it alone.

The prize is about tracking the asteroid.. how about we drop MJ onto it with a new MBP and a really, really, really, really, really, really long CAT-6 cable and he can update it's position via MR?

$50k Profit!

 

[MacNut]

Just give him an iPhone.

 

[xsedrinam]

With any luck it'll land squarely on Paris Hilton

She still wouldn't get it.

 

[MacNut]

But when she says "Thats Hot" it will mean something.

I love me some sensationalism.

I'd love to but if you read my manual, you'll notice I'm only rated to 10,000 feet.

I believe the word is hawt.

Sooo.. do you have a Safari shortcut to search for all instances of "MJ" and "Mad Jew"??

No, he just posts in every thread, every few minutes.

I thought you would have figured that out by now.

I didn't think anyone could read that fast!

Read? What makes you think he does that?

 

[yellow]

OK, skim.

 

[dllavaneras]

OK, skim.

Maybe he gets a chance to read a few letters in the title. That's about it

 

[mad jew]

Pah, only when I'm feeling energetic. Usually I don't even know what internetses I'm on. Is this 1 or 2?

 

[the vj]

And is going to hit Venezuela... it seems Chavez is not bad enough already.

You should get your own for investing so much time in the first one.

Yellar, you got my fav 'tar back up and peddlin' like sixty. Luv it.

As to the asteroid's trajectory, I don't see Chavez holding on for 22 more years, but I like Venezuelans. Maybe Miami Intl. Airport?
