Comments for Chicken Sh!t Asteroid Veers Away At Last Minute »

Posted By ind06 6 months, 3 weeks ago in Humor

TUCSON, AZ - Though initial calculations showed it to be on a direct collision course with Earth, a pansy-ass asteroid approximately the size of Rhode Island has instead altered its trajectory to avoid the planet by more than 40,000 miles, astronomers at the University of Arizona reported Monday. "Guess it just didn't have the stones to go through with it," Richard A. Kowalski of the Catalina Sky Survey said. "Real big surprise. Maybe you can try again when you accrete a little more mass than 6.32 x 1015 kilograms, okay? Chicken-sh!t."

    The asteroid zoomed away from Earth promising to return with its big brother to which the moon replied "My planet can beat up your big brother any millennial reiteration of your orbital cycle, nyaaah!"

        it's all relativ-istic

        so much for any attempt at profundity; the asteroid left because the global climate change elves threatened to beat it into a co2 induced coma

                Well, I don't know about that, but it did make my globular cluster quiver a tad.

                "an asteroid the size of rhode island..."

                if we could persuade rhode island to peel itself off and follow the asteroid, our happiness could be complete.

                  FTA

                  "Kowalski said that one month ago Asteroid 2009-XG2—nicknamed "Old Limp Dick"—was following a path that, even accounting for heat friction and gravitational pull from other celestial bodies, gave it a 97 percent chance of striking Earth. Further observation and calculations, however, indicated that the asteroid would instead tuck its balls between its legs and change its course by more than 22 degrees."

                  Might have known. It takes after Cheney, Limpaw, GW Bush... It should be called the neocon roid. LOL

                          Nope, but that asteroid's mom is is stellar in her beauty. She's a former Miss Universe, in fact.

                        I have always known we were in an intergalactic game of chicken with all the heavenly bodies hurtling around in our universe. Earth is the "boss"! That is until it meets a bigger, badder hunk of space stuff. lol.

                            Nah.... Earth is just good at spin. She has been hot and cold lately... lots of rumors about her hot flashes. Now Mars ....that is the Red Commie in the midst. we just don't know about this guy. Is he hiding something?
