By Irene Klotz
Reuters
SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 18) - An asteroid may come uncomfortably close to Earth in 2036 and the United Nations should assume responsibility for a space mission to deflect it, a group of astronauts, engineers and scientists said on Saturday.

I expect the UN to vote for surrender to the threatening asteroid in the next few days.

Funding will be approved, then dispensed to some third world country. That third world country will consequently build new palaces for its governmental officials.

They can get Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton to drill a hole in it & get it all blow'd up.

Remember that experiment that Nasa did where it landed a probe on a comet or asteroid and then took a sample? Big explosion?
I was wondering if that was practice for something like this.

Asteroid then hits earth and the blame will be placed on George W. Bush and his Cabinet.........many of whom are probably dead from old age.

I doubt Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck will be too busy to help out in 2036...

I'm not really going to argue with you about that, I was just wondering how/why you thought he was going to die in the next 29 years.

I don't really want him to die. It'd just be nice to never see him again on television. Or in person. Or in magazines, newspapers, flyers, on the internet...
