Space junk falling to Earth
 
http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/gr...130261948.html

On the radio, I heard that the chance of hitting "a person" is about 1 in 3,200, and the chance of hitting "you, in particular" is 1 in a couple to several trillion.

If you could pick where it should hit, where would you choose? Islamabad? Washington, D.C.? Savannah, GA? Mexico City? In a desert or ocean?

In the ocean. Not Washington DC, please.

FYI, if you pick up pieces of it, the feds can send you to jail. That's bullshit. Finders keepers. You drop something on my property without me specifically asking for it, it's now mine. (Unless I don't want it, then it's littering.)

The ocean would be the best place. If this thing carries any proprietary info, I would like it to hit about 50 miles off the eastern coast in US waters.

I think the desert. There's enough shit in our oceans. The ocean is like the Earth's Garbage Dump (so is space, in a way)...at least in the desert people could see it. Maybe build a Water Park and Gambling Emporium Museum Fun Land.

And fuck 'em...any space junk falls anywhere near me and I'm touching the fuck out of it. I'll probably even take some home. "Don't touch it it's TOP SECRET!" Well, then maybe you should've come up with some sort of plan as it slowly descended to the earth for 10 years. It's not like it's Super 8.

Doesn't matter where it lands, it'll still be blamed on the gays.

infinite monkey 09-21-2011 10:20 AM

Oh I hate a FTFY.

But...

Doesn't matter where it lands, it'll still be blamed on OBAMA.

:lol:

classicman 09-21-2011 10:24 AM

...or the republicans.

infinite monkey 09-21-2011 10:33 AM

don't start.

:mecry:

Lamplighter 09-21-2011 10:43 AM

I can only think of 2 reasons to nominate Savannah, GA.

Are there more ?

infinite monkey 09-21-2011 10:45 AM

I can only think of one. :mecry:

Did you mean Philly?

Lamplighter 09-21-2011 11:01 AM

That's 3.

With Japan's luck lately, it'll crash there. Maybe right on Fukushima Nuclear Powwer Plant. That'd just cap off their year.

But it's Obama's fault there are gays.

monster 09-21-2011 12:53 PM

If it landed in my house, we wouldn't be able to tell.

Sundae 09-21-2011 03:17 PM

On the evil ex's place.
A small piece, only enough to render it uninhabitable for a while and break some things he cares about.

Bitter? Er, yes.
