“Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue”

Can we call it Asteroid Holder?

Is it scheduled to make a stop through the District of Criminals?

One can only hope

Am I the only one who thinks that somebodiez lying, and that the last time we had a close fly-by it actually hit us when it came in over Russia?

If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global extinction

I'm gonna send my cable payment early, so I'll still have internet, if that happens.

As another FReeper asked on another thread —”How do they know it is sticky?”

It’s not an asteroid.

It is the Mothership.
It’s swinging by to pick up Rev. Farrakhan and some of his peeps.

Does this thing cross the earth's orbit regularly? If so, every time it passes us it could have a little course correction which could eventually bring it into collision.

But fear not, NASA is planning atow of a commet, closer to earth to study the contents. I mean, what could go wrong, right?

BTW, if this black stuff is petrochemically related, wouldn’t that lend great credence to Tom Van Flandern’s exploding planet hypothesis?

What if it slows down?

If it’s dark, and it’s black up there ... how we gonn’a know it’s there .... an’ when it’s gone ?

Pretty please???
