"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." I guess this would be a good example of that doomsday scenario.

I’m beginning to think that it wouldn’t be such a bad scenario after all.

I’ve never understood that passage. If 1/3rd of all the green on Earth is dead, and all the water is turned to blood I’m pretty sure people will expect Jesus to turn up.

So, how big was it, bigger than Hillary’s A$$?
The Story doesn’t say.

Maybe they won’t want him to turn up.
The Egyptians didn’t want to give up their gods, either, just because of a few plagues...

If it happens, may it hit Chappaqua.

Most stories try to avoid stating how big Hillary’s ass is. The asteroid was somewhere in the 50-100ft range, not something that would be part of Nasa’s near earth object detection program.

50-100ft is more of a meteor than an asteroid.
To: Beave Meister
Well Thank God it did because I haven’t cleaned my apartment. Just imagine - if it did happen and my apartment is a mess? That is not the way to leave this Earth with a messy home. =)

If it was within 1/4 the distance of the moon how come our gravity did not capture it

Scary that we didn’t spot it — we don’t need a LOT of time, just enough to get the tinfoil on and duct tape the windows and doors.

Oh, so it’s just a Moochelle Category Asteroid. Got it.
A Hillary Category Asteroid would be a Planet Killer, no doubt.

"...foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering." Well then, NASA Chief Bolden, I guess if we are hit by an asteroid and our planet's life is destroyed, then it will be Allah's will, eh?

I’m sure that the earth’s gravity changed it’s trajectory, however the asteroid’s speed would have to have been slower to be captured.
