Nobody's death has ever gone unreported in Russia. |
|
|
Although this comparison is between Muldoon and raptors
and the Earth and meteors. |
|
|
There's nothing new about a flank attack, you know. It was
probably the second military tactic ever developed. |
|
|
Since those two meteors were demonstrably more intelligent than the people who think the meteors were intelligent, then... maybe. |
|
|
That comment is like throwing a boomerang and forgetting
about it. |
|
|
Also consider raptors are meat-eaters! Probably should
have mentioned that earlier. |

[marked-for-deletion] theory. cute, but still a theory. |
|
|
I believe it may be possible to criticise dimensions-wise. The rock was circa 15 metres across, the planet 8000km across. |
|
|
Even though the rock was outweighed, it put up a stiff fight until predictably the heavier party won. |

|
Can we just launch Bruce Willis anyway? |
|
|
It was still the size of a bus and released about 20 times
the energy yield of the Hiroshima bomb. |
|
|
As opposed to the 5th Element, which showed about
as much energy as a broken toaster. |
|
|
I have a much simpler theory. They're aiming for me,
but yet are a few years late. This one struck within a
few hundred miles of where I once visited. And as I
plan on visiting Yucatan soon, they saw that one
coming but sent it much too early due to a flawed
Pentium chip in their temporal prediction software. |

Every object of note moves through the universe
accompanied by a swarm of other objects, on a
coincident course. |
|
|
My bit of finely honed reason was the culmination of
years of viewing time spent on alien invasion movies;
and, for the epitome of validity should it be needed,
consider the classic video game "asteroids". I mean,
what clearer indications are needed? |
|
|
Makes me wonder; given reasonable universe relative speed limits, what are the minimal size requirements for a ELE meteor before it enters the atmosphere? |
|
|
the many-worlds hypothesis suggests that from our
perspective the meteors always miss us and the
scientists named Muldoon stop being sentient just
before being obliterated from this reality. |
|
|
^ wouldn't that be the many-worlds single-consciousness hypothesis ? |
|
|
I read the book just before going on border mission,
the year it came out. I thought it was real stupid.
But still, after jumping at every hint of a sound
during the night shafts I wasn't
able to sleep in the day! |
|
|
This is not an MFD-theory, although its form might suggest it is. |
|
|
It is, actually, one of [rcarty]'s better ideas. [+] |
|
|
After all, if you put thousands of ideas in orbit near the half-bakery then, sooner or later, one of them will be a hit. |
|
|
You actually want me to start throwing out ideas with my
full weight? I'm just playing on here day to day. I'll crash
the servers with halfbakes you could never imagine. |
|
|
Nah, just keep giving us your top shelf stuff. Some of us
appreciate quality rather than quantity. |
|
|
Some appreciate neither I suppose? |

Star Ship Troops blamed Bugs for the giant asteroid collisions. |
