Apparently, there is a very large asteroid heading directly for Earth. If it hits, we could all be doomed. I think I need to go home and hide under the stairs.

I know 31 years seems like a long way off, but ask anyone who is actually over 31 years old, and they'll tell you, it goes by bloody quick. Are we going to have to rely on a last minute rescue mission by Bruce Willis and Ben Afleck (loved the film, not sure the whole thing was very realistic though), or is someone going to start planning something a little more practical.

I guess one theory is that by that time, the next round of the Bush family will be attempting to invade a couple of more random countries for no real reason (the twins invading China coz they wouldn't agree to invade Tokyo and take over Toyota perhaps?), so maybe we don't need to worry quite so much.
