Of course by 2880 the entire earth's population and all the spotted owls will have been killed off by global warming/cooling and/or overpopulation and/or Repubican policies of the Bush/Reagan years and/or burning fossil fuels/using nuclear energy/driving SUV in the 21st century etc.
To: Brad Cloven
Large asteroids would be good targets for multiple thermonuclear devices. Prepare the targeting regimen, boys. We may have to go nuclear! No kidding. And by 2880 we ought to have a very sophisticated civilization - one that could easily swat such an asteroid into the Sun or even capture it for its metals. Aside from the fact that I don't give much of a damn about what will happen in 877 years, I don't worry much about our GGGGG, etc. grandkids' ability to handle it quite easily.

Isn't a massive tsunami going to flood the east coast much earlier due to some island which is currently hanging by a thread and will soon drop into the sea? (I saw this on TV but do not remember any details other than we're all gonna DIE!)It's the "big island" in Hawaii, it has a crack across the entire exposed(above sea level) portion. It is also one of the tallest mountains on earth if you measure to the sea floor some 18,000 feet down It is also the most active volcano on earth, and is actually flowing a little heavier than in recent times.
The concern is that "when" this chunk falls off, and it will, that it could create a Hugh" tidal wave. It would be directed towards the west coast of the US, not the east.
Right now I'm far more worried about what our elected MORONS are doing to us in Sacramento.

If Hawaii collapses into the sea, it could be even worse for California than Gray Davis.

There was some wing-ding who was disappointed that a predicted impact in -- what? -- 2030 was retracted. See, the way she saw it, we could have a 30-year party. No more responsibility, no more investing, no more thinking of 'the children' (future generations). Just party down dudes.

And it will all be the Republicans fault. You see, by not signing the Kyoto accord, the resulting global warming both melted the polar ice caps vastly increasing the severity of any tsunami, and slowed down the orbit of the earth sufficiently, thereby assuring that it was in the path of the asteroid.
To: Mike Darancette
Woo Hoo!!! Lots of ocean front real estate dirt cheap!!!!

"Oh man. That's the week I was planning on going to Daytona Beach."
Yeah, this is really going to put a cramp in my vacation plans as well. On the bright side, if this tidal wave simulation is correct, it looks like the beach will now be somewhere around my front door.

Kalifornia again.
One would think they would worry more about what Gray Davis and the Legislature is going to do to them within the next eight months, instead of what some asteroid might do eight centuries from now!
