AssTeroid!

Wow we are lucky! Screw all of the things going on with the economy, we're glad to be alive!! Why? Well let's just say that a surprise asteroid almost hit our planet!!

The rock, estimated to be no more than 200 feet wide, zoomed past our planet at an altitude of 40,000 miles at 1:44 p.m. universal time (on March 2nd). That is NOT FAR AT ALL!!! The asstard (my name for an asteroid) was dubbed as the "2009 DD45".

So how bad would it have been? Had 2009 DD45 hit the Earth, it would have exploded on or near the surface with the force of a large nuclear blast!!! And to top it off, we would only have gotten a 3 day notice. Hold on to your hats people! I think hearing news like this makes me realize that while our economic climate is dreary and doesn't look to have a ending anytime soon, we should all be happy that we didn't get BLASTED by this asteroid! C'mon on people, let's appreciate the fact that our earth is still here.

There may be more... The earth's gravity seems to draw these assmunch-teroid close to our planet which means that it may return in the future. I hope the geeks at Nasa keep a better eye out for these nature-bombs. We need to start funding our space program and have nukes ready to blow up asteroid and stop worrying about terrorists! my goodness. anyways, have a great day!
