[QUOTE="GameDaddy, post: 5314309, member: 80711"] We have other things more relevant at the moment that requires our attentions... I noticed with interest a report on CNN this morning, about two large rocks that flew by earth that were only spotted three days ago on Sunday... Cutting it kind of close, ey? Reference: In One Day, (Yesterday now...) Two Asteroids buzz Earth.
