I already knew that three months ago.

I prefer to get my space news from NASA sources, not kooks.

5. LOL

Do you have the post of the Freepers getting all upset? I bet it is comical watching some fundy moron who believes the book of revelations is going to come true. I read a stat here that I did not verify and it said that 30% of fundy/evangelical types believe that the events of revelations will occur during their lifetime! I am not sure what those events are, but I must assume they are armageddon like.

LOLOLOLOLOL :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

The asteroid came 950,000 miles from the planet and had a probability of zero (for lack of a better number) of hitting us. I guess listening to scientists saying we are totally in the clear would be out of the question given their previously displayed contempt for science.

Don't worry, Toutatis will be back in 4 years and may smack right into us in 2012.
