<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Not intended in a malicious way, but it might help if you practiced reading English and comprehending English...as it seems your grip may not be as firm as you may believe, Femme (not that I suspect you'll necessarily be returning to the thread, anyway). In this particular case, it may be of interest to know that the inpersonal pronoun 'one' (the only equivalent I know of in a foreign language is "man" in German) is seldom used in English, and is often simply replaced with "you", although it is not directly referring to the reader or anyone in particular. As in "since the internet provides vast oppurtunities to find whatever you're looking for without relying on a site that relies on plagiarism very easily through the likes of google, yahoo, dogpile and similar search engines," could potentially be more translatably written "one has many oppurtunities to find seperate sources or hosts for material on the internet, and it's unnecessary to rely on a site that is dominated by virulent plagiarism."<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

In the long run, Femme_Fatale is turning out just to be another stupid internet cry-baby girl.

mmm... This is one tasty sandwich. I think it's the red onion yeah -huh? Oh yeah meteors.

Nice picture gecko. Well I enjoyed it. I tell you what else is a meteor. <a href="http://www.thefalloftroy.com/index2.php" target="_blank">Fall of troy</a>. A meteor of fast paced awesome. I would be worried that some one would complain of a thread hi-jack but it would be a little late don't you think.

edit: I have relevant info for your brain matter! I was looking at black holes on wikipedia for unrelated reasons and there is a section where scientists hypothesize about an object that could have a mass so great they have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light and are in essence invisible. That would make looking for them really difficult. And if anything can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light then it may hit us before we could observe it. Heck it might pass right through us. but thats just me wanting science to be awesome.

I concur. So I will be 53 when the world comes to an end. Atleast It's a nice old age!

Almost as old as Niteowl!

Epidemic

Although it's only 0,00000xx% chance, it is still kinda creepy..

Interestingly enough nasa's simulation ends in the year 2200, apparently they have predicted that we will have interstellar travel by then and our planet won't be of too much importance to us.

I suspect that even today we can prevent an on-collision astroid from hitting earth by blasting it's trajectory 0,0000x degrees off. If it's alerted early enough, it will pass many million KMs/miles from earth.

Is that in an Armageddon movie style fashion? Because I want to see us send some untrained astronauts who are from the mining industry in to space and save the planet from extinction!

And of course they have to be a team of Americans and Russians to keep in style with the movie!

Crotalus

Or, we could be like in Starship Troopers, and build a giant Halo-shaped space station around the Moon that is capable of blasting giant meteors with space missiles, but for some stupid reason is incapable of detecting the meteors without the help of captial ship sensor systems.

Kouji_San

Pfft duracell bunnies will simply push it off course, with their awesome endurance!
