Why I hate the media and giant fucking rocks.

You might have read on the news recently that there is a chance that an asteroid will hit the earth in 2036. You might have also had a sense of deja-vu when reading this. The reason this is so familiar to you is that it's been told several times with only a few key factors changing slightly.

The reason why this seems familiar to you is because it has been reported before:

Note the date on the space article.
Now look at your man.
Now back to him:

Now ask yourself: Why are all these news organizations which have the Internet at their disposal not using it?
It took me all of 20 minutes to fish that up and the dated material has more information than shit that was written 5-6 years after the fact.
So for god's sakes, don't panic. It might just look a little weird as it's passing by and chances are, we'll be able to deflect it. But if you're really worried, how about switching majors doing some math and saving the world? Wouldn't that look boss on a resume?

i was about to say
as much as some people around here are prone to buying into doomsday scenarios, asteroids are not one of them
gonna open a theme restuarant for scientists
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Come on, let's do this thing
The tables should be tablet computers that link up to one screen, so you can get together, have a sandwich, and calculate as a group.
And yet, it's probably the most likely one.
okay
how about some cold wave
which is basically european post punk

mmmm maybe over the span of the entire existence of the earth? yeah
but in current life? man i dunno
I always figured it to be pandemic disease.
Nothing to worry about, either way, because we have no goddamn control over it with our current levels of technology.
In other words: relaaaaax.

Which giant?
I mean some of them do indeed rock, but a lot of them kinda suck.
At least that's what I want to believe.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
seriously if there's a bigass asteroid coming at us, either the scientists will be able to fix it or they won't
either way I have no control over that matter so I'm just gonna chill

Ok, I see your point.
But I'd be more prone to listen to someone going "hay, giant fucking rock right now get in the hole!" than anything else. Granted, I'd still be seeing if Neil had anything to say on the matter. In fact, if the man told me Kool aid is for suckers, I'd never drink another drop.
Well, Rane, if the world's gonna end I say we all fly over to one location and have a big-ass party, or something, 'neath the glow of our impending doom.

If rap is involved I only become even more scared.
I'd probably pass on that, that sort of party would get bad real quick as the people who only act good because of repercussions slowly start to realize there won't be any repercussions
I'd like my final hours to be classy and quiet and serene with a few like-minded people
Me too.

And the barbarians will win.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Rolling hills and rain forests here I come.
Or maybe I would hope that the impact didn't tear the earth the fuck apart. And live underground. Maybe.
like I'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be like Blade runner or A.I. or something
like we live on a fringe of advancement and yes, there are loads of technological advancements and I look at them and go FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKING FUTURE
but there's just this THING that needs to make this technology wave crest over and crash down into "The Future"
it is pretty silly and idealistic! but it feels good so I'll keep on
Yeah, so when it does fly by, they can park a shuttle, tether it and as a result the asteroid misses the keyhole entirely and ends up crashing into some other planet full of suckers who end up evolving at a highly accelerated rate hellbent on our total annihilation.
Either that or they do the same and send it right back at us.
And we end up in an intergalactic game of ping pong that spans over millenia.
That's film nerdy/music nerdy enough for me to catch it.
Oh, and John Hurt.
Not if Commander Shepard is around.
