(Dallas, Texas) While most of us would consider threats of global destruction to be inappropriate subjects for an award competition, there are many scientists who would disagree. And most of them were in Dallas this week.
The world's leading scientific doomsayers have converged on this sprawling Texas city to attend the annual awards dinner for the coveted Calamities About to Ruin Earth (CARE) awards.
The CARE Awards were the brainchild of Anastasia Beaverhousen, ....

They sure would be laughing stock if the MSM did journalism, instead of propaganda.
While it was at first recognized that a black hole would, indeed, be a formidable event, toward the end of the dinner some physicists were complaining that a black hole swallowing Earth is simply too unlikely to be seriously considered.
"It's unfair that that these astrophysicists get to invoke any unimaginably large cataclysmic cosmic event to win…who can compete with that?", complained one environmental scientist. "It's time to change the competition rules, taking into account the probability of such an event happening…otherwise, the rest of us might as well just stay home."
I can't believe George W. Bush lost to a measly Black Hole or an earth destroing asterroid.
The man get's NO respect.

Comment away. Just be careful.....
Is this Scrappleface? It can't be real: Calamities About To Ruin Earth? How about the dems' cut-and-run policies? How about the eco-whackos who'd ruin our economy? How about the islamofascists who want to kill us all?
"Scrappleface?"
Nope, but he is pretty funny. Check out some of the other "news" on the site.
I have a friend with a fresh Ph.D. in Astrophysics who argues for limiting people's consumption so we won't ruin the equilibrium that may be very harmful for human being. By looking at the regularity of the universe, he's convinced that there must be some civilizations like earth out there. However, since we don't get any communication with alien (so far), he speculates that those civilizations may have vanished because they didn't take care their planet carefully. So, he said, we better take care of our earth. He then started to rant about American consumerism. I told him I hope he's telling this story in sci-fi convention and not in academic conference.

This has to be satire. Was her nickname Nasty?
