I think I saw it while star gazing. I think it was a '68 dodge

Was it the size of a Yugo or a 1958 Buick Roadmaster?

Lol, with the pedal to the metal.

“How could they possibly know that?”
All history prior to the advent of O is now null and void. This is why today’s “experts” and “scientists” keep discovering things that have been known for hundreds of years all over again, and the LSM announces the “discoveries “ as if they are shocked and amazed - so we should be too.

With the world gone so far to hell, do you get so nostalgic that you’d give your eye teeth to own that thing? I do.

I wonder.
Should we destroy meteors of this approximate size?
That would, arguably, make us responsible for the damage caused by it’s remnants. But would we have the defence of showing what would have happened if we didn’t act?
Fascinating...,

I grew up on Charlie Chan. I loved him. Now, he’s a thought crime.

Charlie Chan is terrific!
Assaults on him shall fail.
(Great performances by Mantan and Keye Luke too.)

Thankfully it wasn’t a Chevy Nova.
