More video of the Japan fireball.

A sobering, yet badass, reminder of how easily we could all be wiped from the face of this planet at any time.

Fucking Mayans. They were off by two month. No wonder their civilization collapsed. Damned sloppy.

Clearly, a calendar-based economy was an unwise choice. Should have played to their strengths.

If they played the long game, yes. There is a HUGE market for human organs these days.

Exactly! All those other perfectly good organs wasted! Since it's a religion, the organ sales would even be tax-fee in the US.

If the asteroid belt was nailed with an asteroid or comet that'd put us in a shooting gallery for a few millennia.

Daaaaang how did I not catch that. Apologies! I am full on special this morning.

Very interesting that there was no warning, or information. Perhaps these meteors were too small for detection (or they knew it was going to get bad and didn't want to tell us). Things could get very interesting.
