didn’t this happen last month?

[SuperLuminal]

I knew it!
I knew it!
The sky IS falling!

Vaccines and masks are our only protections...

Right on Washington DC.

Last one I know of was 10 days ago.

These things whizz by every couple months, at least.

Everybody loves doom porn.

Are we having more asteroids lately, or are we just getting better at detecting and tracking them?

[Flavious_Maximus]

Would be nice if a small chunk of it broke off and landed on the New York Times. Miracles do happen from time to time. Just saying.

[njslim]

I’m expecting an earth shattering KABOOM ....!!

meaty space rock,

Beefy? Chicken-ey? Porky?

Interesting term for a big stone...

[KC Burke]

At a closing speed of 16,900 MPH with that size it would not burn off I would imagine and therefore could do a lot more than the Tunguska event.

Maybe the writer was thinking of the old kindergarten joke that goes:

If you were hungry, would you rather have an earth rock or a space rock? The space rock, because it’s a little meteor.

“Relax, there’s at least one out there that has our name on it... Coming soon...”

Ha ha. In the next 100,000 years or so.

Actually, my earlier comment was meant to emulate the average fear propaganda method used by most mainstream “journalists” these days.

Yes. They lie and WANT you to be afraid.

Nevertheless, there’s at least one out there that has our name on it... Coming soon... is true. Actually the liars and fear mongers muddle the truth and make people skeptical of the truth. That is the intent.

In the next 100,000 years or so.

I have reason to believe within the next hundred years (Rev. 8:8-11). Nevertheless, do NOT be afraid if you have Jesus because you will not be here on earth at that time, but in Heaven with Jesus. If you don't have Jesus, just call to him now and he will answer and make you his own. The best decision you will ever make.
