Doom and Gloom,

Hey folks,

Happy FRIDAY to you all. We made it for another week. But how long will we have left? The world could end any day now. You better run and hind under a table somewhere. We are all going to die.

At least we are if you listen to the news. If what we eat does not get us, you have flooding rains, mud slides, wild fires. The hurricanes here in Florida are more intense than any other time in history. Of course, all this is caused by "Global Warming". Then you have the War. Those around the world that hate us, and want us dead because of President Bush. Even though the terrorist have been attacking us for the past 20 years or so. It’s still Bush’s fault.

If you do not subscribe to any of the above, how about God ending the world soon. Still not convince we are all going to die? OK, according to a new AP article,

"They're out there, hidden among a haze of stars — killer asteroids. Now the world's astronomers are keeping a wary eye to the skies for giant objects on a collison course with Earth.

Experts say there are about 1,100 comets and asteroids in the inner solar system that are at least a half-mile across, and that any one of them could unleash a global cataclysm capable of killing millions in a single blinding flash."

You have to read this article folks. According to Nick Kaiser of the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, which hopes to train four powerful digital cameras on the heavens to watch for would-be intruders,

"The goal is to discover these killer asteroids before they discover us,"

But the article ends with,

"Bottom line: Mankind may not be able to dodge every cosmic bullet.

"It's through collisions that planets are born," said Giovanni Valsecchi of Italy's National Institute of Astrophysics. "And it's through collisions that planets die."

That’s right folks, we are doomed. We may be able to see them coming, but we cannot stop them. We are all going to die...

Hope you have a happy and safe Friday folks. Live it up. We may not have much longer to live.
Peter
