And how, did you, Mr. Guru (or self-styled guru) come by this information? Do you have a direct link to God?

Do you really think that another earth-bound asteroid would go undetected?

Not really. But a response of a naked "No" is inaccurate. Admittedly, there's a tiny, probably almost vanishingly small chance of it, but that's not 0% chance.

But I'll bet there's more to your response than the difference between zero and a tiny number.

I disagree--there is not even a vanishingly small chance. Ask Nick, our resident astronomer, what he thinks. Anything of any significance would not have escaped notice by this time. Even if you disregard the professionals, there are legions of highly competent amateur astronomers out with their telescopes every night looking to make a name for themselves by spotting exactly that sort of thing. Someone would have noticed.

Why didn't you say that. Too lazy or to far above to give a complete answer rather than a lazy, terse response?

The thing that really irritates me is the immature, childish bullshit that's becoming more and more in evidence here -- aided and abetted by the scrote-less mods. My days are probably numbered -- we seem to have become a pre-school or some sort of psych clinic run by rank un-professionals.

You think that you and your silly astronomers are so smart ?? Than how come they don;t realize that Nibiru is out there and is going to collide with the earth in 10 days!! ? Huh ?? Let's see you and your silly science explain that one smarty pants !! Huff !!

Now, I don't know about the rest of you but there is definitely a face on that asteroid. Perhaps it was created by the same guys that built the face on Mars.

I can tell you don't like the way we run the place. Almost 7 years ago, al2n felt the same way, and when he expressed that, one of the QRZ mods invited him to start his own forum.

Allow me to extend that same invitation to you, my good man.

Oh, for crying out loud. The Island palms wouldn't sway so seductively without hot air like this.

The staff here doesn't do much. What the heck for?

Sometimes we take the sheriffs badge off and throw a few punches.

Maybe. If so, it'd be another great show. However, there has been nothing spotted akin to it within a 10 day timeframe.

I think Paul might be onto something. Just saw this pass through Facebook:

Breaking News: NASA Scientists discovered an asteroid that is supposed to make impact on December 21st, around 2:37 pm. It is roughly 3000 km in diameter. It will make contact within a 300 mile radius of St. Petersburg, Russia. This was not supposed to go public but one of NASA's scientists is leaking the story.

I never believed that the world was supposed to end on Dec 21st. I do now. It seems legit. Here's the link:
