Wish I'd paid more attention in astrophysics
The Drudge Report, an occasionally-reputable online rumor mill/news source, posted a pair of links to a story about a 4.5 km-long asteroid that's going to pass within a million miles of earth on Wednesday (at about 8:30 AM Eastern, or 2:30 AM Hawaii), just four times the distance between the moon and Earth. It's big enough to blot out the sun and wipe out all advanced life, or at least those who would starve. Those of us who've done nothing but can veggies our entire lives would probably be fine for a year or so.
Beyond the obvious downside of never being able to get to know any of the women on my list, there is one huge upside that everyone seems to miss:
Global Warming would cease to be a threat.
Good news for those of us who like freon. Tough nuts for those of you who freeze to death, but whatever. You can't win them all.
