Some months ago, I read that an asteroid was on its way here, and would hit us real hard in about 17 years. That is something to worry about. But, as we all know, it won't kill all of us in just one blow. It depends very much on where it hits.
The question is: Where do YOU think it will hit?
The scientists says it will hit the pacific ocean, because it is really fuckin huge, but my guess is New York.
Everything happens in New York, it seems. Godzilla went to New York. In Independence Day they came straight to NY. In Armageddon, it started to rain hot stones from outer space in New York.
It is obvious.









PS! Do NOT connect this to 11th september 2001. That is NOT funny, and I will have none of it.

Dont' worry, it won't, because anything that does will be deleted.

I thought Godzilla only attacked Japan? I never paid much attention, but the only people I ever saw run from it were orientals...

I think they just determined the Pacific through basic probabilities, and since it is largest, odds are it would hit there over anywhere else. I'd say either an ocean, or somewhere in Asia, personally, for almost the same reasons. Who knows though.

yeah sure why not

i think its gonna hit a lost place on earth and then giant miniature space hamsters will be released from it(its not an asteroid, its an alien spaceship run by giant miniature space hamsters) and they'll all destroy the talking spagetti bowls from earth

bush will probably prefer sending all the budget into silly stuff instead of sending it to nasa really =p

dude, if they have a whole fuckin 17 years, they'll have more then enough time to plan a way to change the course of it....shooting a missle at it will only break it up, in which case, more peices will hit more places which will be more disaster

Wally's right, but the newest Godzilla movie of a couple years ago took place in NY (cause it was made by Hollywood....not some japanese film company).

I haven't heard anything about this asteroid....but i also don't have the discovery channel anymore, and i cancelled my subscription to Astromnomy magazine over 2 years ago. If scientists predict it will hit the pacific, then i'm pretty sure it'll hit the pacific. In which case.....I'M SAFE!!!! w0000000!!! Well......for maybe a couple months.

__________________

well if it hits the pacific, then it's gonna generate a huge tidal wave or tsunami, for like, whereever, i think.

__________________

Depending on where it hits in the pacific.....it could wipe out all of the Aussies (bye fbs!!) or, most of the western coast in canada and the states. But i'm far more eastern, so i won't be affected by it.

__________________

I'm in scotland, so its all fucking good!

Hehe, we got the Atlantic to the West, and europe to west, hehe, brilliant!

__________________

Europe to East you mean?

Depending on the size of the comet....the outcome after it hits might be even more devastating that just the tidal wave.

__________________

i'll prolly get it...im cool with that

__________________

anyone seen deep impact yet?
that's a weird movie
i live in texas, so i might get wet.

__________________

If hits the Pacific, I am dead. Whoops.

Just to put some perspective on this: - last asteroid was 200,000km from the atmosphere... and in cosmological terms that's a near miss.

I doubt we have very much to worry about.

On a brighter note, memnoch, i live in scotland remember, apart from ireland, thats as far West as you can go

I don't know shit about geography man.

All i know is europe is east from here.....and the atlantic is west of europe.

__________________

if its hit's there, then i';m fucked. maybe vancouver island can shield it abit. ah, i'm guessing it'll hit somewhere in between the indian and pacific ocean.

__________________

We must also bear in mind that no matter where a meteor hits, it could very well wipe us all out. Even a 6-10 mile wide one, which is considered small compared to many others, if it hits the Earth, we're all very much fucked. My astronomy/physics teacher talked to us all about it one day, but I don't feel like explaning all of what he said about it.

__________________

i heard we're gonna launch like a missile at it , so it breaks up into smaller pieces. then we won't be so fucked.
and we have been hit by asteroids before, they just weren't so damn ass big.

__________________

besides, even if you dont get flooded or disintegrated, theres a major chance that the dust cloud will cover most of the earth, blocking sunlight, so instead of dying right away, you'll die slowly and painfully

MAYBE THE IMPACT WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE EARTH OUT OF HIS ORBIT AROUND THE SUN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A POSSIBILITY BUT THAT WOULD BE WORSE THAN ANY TIDAL WAVE/TSUNAMI/DUST CLOUD. DONT YOU THINK?

__________________

i think the asteroid will miss us...hit the sun, catch fire, rebound off the sun, hit mars, catch the aleins on fire....then the aleins will get pissed and kill us all....thats more worse than us getting knocked off orbit/tidal wave/tsunami/dust cloud.....(im not gonna worry my ass of for 17 goddamn years)

__________________

or the big dust cloud wouldnt kill us and simply just make our guitar strings dirty after 2 mins of exposure

THAT would suck!! i like my strings....theyre new...and shiney

__________________

That wouldn't happen man. You'd need something probably the size of the moon to do that.

No matter where this meteor hits, if it's big enough the whole world is fucked. Whether you're in Scotland, Canada or Australia, you'll be affected in some way or another....some worse than others.

i hope it lands in the middle of the pacific so it'll make a huge wave we can all play on til we die

surf's up, pal

i'll be 32, hehe

Yeah, it's too bad I had to tell you that...jackass.

Haha.

I'll be closing in on my 40's. Hopefully by then most of what i wanted to accomplish in life will be done with, so i won't care much.

__________________

i don't get it, but i'll be 33 if you're intersted. i cant figure out, what this age thing is about

__________________

I can't figure you out.

__________________

then obviously you havn't read the beginning of this thread...
i'll be almost 35.

__________________

awesome. 17 years from now, i finally undertsand. and yeah i will be 33. or dead

__________________

Lol, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Oh the erm....humanity...


Can i ask something....

How come when a person murders 3 people its automatically HORRIBLE and shit, yet some big motherfucker rock comes from space and wipes us all out, no-one hates it....

Hehe...why?

__________________

You think everyone praises this rock and adores it for wipping out humanity??

FUCK NO!

Of course everyone hates it. No one wants to die...especially not the whole goddamn world. But we can't really put a huge 6 mile rock in jail now can we? (please, to the idiots on the forum.....no wise cracks about a fucking rock in a jail cell.....you piss me off enough as it is, no need to continue....i'm sure i'm not alone on this).

i think that they can put metal all over the asteroid and use real powerful magnets to pull it off course.

__________________

and by a magnet..i dont mean a refridgerator magnet...one of those huge powerful shits from nasa maybe

__________________

The asteroid is probably filled with different metals to start off with.

Second....that would never work.

__________________

FINE! maybe will use that superstring thing... i used that thread today to help me out on a project..superstring theory is fuckin cool shit!

How did you use it in your project?

i had to write a page on "interesting technology" in Cadd Engineering

We were hit back in 1909(I think), remember? In Tunguska in Russia. The schockwave went around the earth twice, and you could read a newspaper 20 miles outside of London using only the reflected light from the city. Awesome shit.
And that was a small one. I guess this one will miss us, though. It hasn't been mentioned in the papers in like a month. And the odds went from 1/10 to 1/100000000000 or something in two days. So we're safe for now.

I saw a documentary about that, it hit a forest 3 miles outside a guys house and he lived to tell the tale, fucking insane!

They say the water moved upstream in the rivers nearby.
I think an impact would be......interesting.
