A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years ago could do it again, according to a top space scientist.
And some believe the apocalyptic event could happen as early as this month.

The astrophysicist says the planet has a 20,000-year orbit around the sun and, at its closest to us, it knocks asteroids and comets toward Earth.

Yeah, well until January the entire 57 states is an ash (hole) zone.
An REM reference in a post lauding Robin Trower... Come on Frenchie!
Well done, Frankly speaking.
Is there also a bottom space scientist?
There is a crotch space scientist, butt he's kind of a dick.
LOL!
I can’t read that verse without hearing the guitar riff that comes after.
Your last paragraph has me baffled, though.

Yes, great lyrics. I play “Bridge of Sighs and “In this Place” on acoustic guitar, includng the very ‘Jim’i into. You can’t do one without the other. Seems to be a hit on open Mic nite.
