Todays online Guardian has a report on Apothis. A 360m Asteroid due to hit us soon... How are we going to deal with it etc.

I've fed the figures into the Impact Effects Program (Hot Fudge Sundae) and I'm not going to lose too much sleep.

Incidentally, Brians Predictions seem to be having a 2 for 1 Sale on Natural Disasters. Either that or we've got a rough time coming up...

Ogre

its one thing after another it seems this year

I watched that programme about the tsunami (thanxs for the reminder ogre) and it really was amazing but so dreadfully awful to think something so much bigger could happen too

on a slightly different topic I saw on the news today that if we continue to give off green house gases at the currant rate, some think that the planet will be irrirevisbly damaged in just over ten years

dom and gloom , doom and gloom

Hmmm... The Tsunami prog was not what I expected. Although I was totaly shocked at peoples complacency. 'Oooooh look, the tide's suddenly disapeared. Wonder what that means ? Even my daughter was shouting 'sea's gone - run!!!'.

Went to bed part way through for a little 'Pratchet Therapy'

Ogre

mmmmm.....and did you see the home movie clip of the americans saying "oh well its ruined lets see if we can go home" then a few mins later it was "I guess we arent going anywhere today"

I was dumbstruck that such a thing was said!! talk about me myself and I !!!!!!!
