Look in the sky...

it's a bird, it's Santa...it's an asteroid? Ok not exactly the last minute Christmas gift that everyone was hoping to get from NASA. (click title of blog) Turns out that the world has the odds of 300-1 in being hit by an asteroid they found in the year 2029. Thanks NASA shouldn't you be tracking Santa this time of year and not ruining the season with news of great impending doom?

Now I think everyone should take a minute and settle down their children and let them know that this will not interfere with Santa's deliveries this year. Infact maybe we can ask Santa for help. From this year on when we write letters to Santa telling him what we would like for Christmas, we should ask him for a Nuclear defense mechanism against such a threat. Hmm..or maybe better yet we should get our governments to write letters to Santa to maybe take his reindeer and divert the giant earth-shattering rock somehow...wait, the only downfall of that plan is that our government officials are all on the naughty list...ok scratch that.

Maybe what we need to do is just forget about it for oh I don't know...20 years? I mean the thing is so far away. Did NASA really think that it would do the general public any good to release this news? 24 years in advance? I mean what should we do start building shelters? Stock pile food? For all I know it's another gimmick by the government, like the "Millennium Bug", to boost the economy. Frig that! I would suggest that you just focus on the task at hand, Christmas!

So tonight, or 20 years from now, when you are outside or with your children and you look up in the sky and see a big red flaming mass headed toward earth. Just remember, it's Santa Claus coming to deliver gifts to everyone in the world. Or at least that's what I'll tell myself after taking my Prozac. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
