The asteroids are clearly sentient, distracting us with the one passing today, while they pull the old "Hun in the Sun" on us with another one.

I like the grin he had for the entire interview that said while he knew this was a serious event, in the back of his mind all he could think was "THIS WAS AWESOME"

What an annoying interviewer. "Imagine if it had happened in an area as populated as.. New York"

Danger Danger Danger!

The hockey world's even impacted (no pun intended) by this:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...l.html#more-id

Quote:
The Russian city of Chelyabinsk was hit by a massive meteor on Friday. Hundreds were injured, and the meteor also caused a great deal of property damage, as you might imagine. Arena Traktor, the home to the KHL's Traktor Chelyabinsk pictured above, was among the facilities put out of commission. From the KHL's Facebook page:
The meteor shower which struck Chelyabinsk and its environs has also caused some disruption to the hockey season schedule. The emergency services have confirmed that the walls of the Arena Traktor were among those structures to suffer damage, and therefore large-scale events at the stadium have been postponed.
The sporting facilities will undergo an inspection by experts to assess the readiness of the arena to return to full operational use.
