Our Lady Peace: Somewhere Out There (for the irony) |
] |
so mother and i were chilling in the den, watching that National Geographic End Day and it's going on and on about astroids. part of it's pretty interesting. like, i learned there are three basic types of astroids:
1) Huge Motherfucker: this is just one big lump of rock that, if it smashed into us, we're pretty much pancakes.
2) Double Dosage: it's like the huge motherfucker, except it's two slightly smaller rocks traveling side by side.
3) Heap of Shit: as in, we'll be in a heap of shit if these head our way. it's basically a pile of rubble held loosely together by gravaty, but they were shooting rocks with rifles, (stimulating the different meteors,) showing why we couldn't just blast the hell out of the astroids like Hollywood always does. the huge motherfucker got blown to smitherines, but double dosage left a little bit of rubble, and heap of shit just knocked apart. apparently, if the gravity is strong enough, it can even pull back together.
it also told a little bit about some people who were trying to track the meteors, to see which ones were on a collision course with Earth. it wasn't so bad, until the end when they pretty much kept repeating, "when not much is being done about this threat, are we going to get hit by flying astroids and go the path of the dinosaurs?? is all of man-kind completely screwed??? COULD A METEOR BE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR EARTH NOW?! WILL WE ALL BE WIPED OUT TOMMOROW BY THESE SPACE TERRORISTS?!?!!*" [/cue scary music, remarkably close to Jaws theme.]
(*yes, they actually called the meteors "Space Terrorists.")
oh no! oh God! what if, right now, a meteor is HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE EARTH?! or, even worse, what if, right now, SOME INSANE TERRORIST IS CREATING A FLESH-EATING VIRUS IN HIS BASEMENT!?!!
.....we're fucked.
