#1 way to destroy the planet: Turn all nations over to socialist governments.
Right on. That's what I've always said. This planet used to have molten streams of metal running over its surface. Before the atmosphere formed radiation from space bombarded the planet. Meteorites plowed into the planet digging huge craters. Comets hit the planet too. The entire planet has frozen over twice.
It's pretty arrogant of those liberals to think that something as insignificant as the human race can seriously damage a planet that has taken worse for millions of years.
"It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old"
Just wait till the Creationists get on to the thread.
I hope you've got a flame-retardant suit on. :)

The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron.
Just wondering...
How did they get the earth on a scale?
Could the Earth go on a diet and lose weight?
I love #1 and #2....eaten by Von Neumann machines and Hurled into the sun.
That is really funny actually.
Go physics!
The end result.....the formation of the moon, a mix of impact material and ejecta from the Earth.

that's great...bump for later finish

Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
The Earth will be consumed by the sun as it expands into a red giant passed our orbit several billion years from now.
Long since uninhabitable, the moon is also moving away from the earth a little bit each year too.
What ever possibly becomes of humans by then? We will either be extinct or some kind of gods I imagine.
Either way, not our problem.
Rush is going to talk about this article in the next hour. Considering this is an old article, I suspect he or his team may be lurking here
Won't the Earth be destroyed if Karl kranks up the machine to 15? I think they forgot that one...
Is everybody kind of overlooking something. While it might not actually destroy the planet, an all out global nuclear war would make the planet uninhabitable. The planet would survive, but we would be toast(ed).
Actually, they're missing something.
There is small but finite chance that all these physicists playing with super-colliders in their quest for "strange matter" might manager to actually unravel the entire universe!
Does that count?
Great find... this was so much fun to read.
