ok....... you're a funny guy....

Why is this particular Asteroid generating such concern? Objects are constantly passing through our immediate vicinity.

u SERIOUS?

Update from Columbus OH. No headaches.. no communication interference, animals seem to be in ship-shape. It's cold, but it has been a pretty cold winter. I look forward to spending the countdown with you guys. I'm tired as heck, but I would rather be awake than asleep so I have a chance. If this thing does hit the first thing I'm doing is going to get guns from my grandparent's house. Then its to Best Buy to loot a plasma screen TV.. Then i'll finally get to play my ps3 in HD WOOT!!

It is based on your clock in your computer so make sure that is set right... Anyone have a magnetic compass?? Let us know if north turns south...

Mil it's gone viral... it's a media-OP now. Been that way for a couple a three days. I blame the clowns at TU24.org. It is the singular root source. We gonna party with them boys and girls if they survive. I know you are reading this. I'm already a member and I'm waiting... check /b/tards in a bit. LOL!!!!!

Essentially because this one is passing much closer than any others on that list and it was found relatively shortly before it's passing.

Welcome back, ats1629, I've been keeping your timer warm for you.

Thanks again!

There's brownies and s'mores, and tequila, and rum and beer, and watch out for the punch! ( it's spiked!)

reply to post by Mil Spec


basically because it's close and much larger than the closer ones on that list. I think it's supposed to be the largest and closest until 2027. But since it was discovered only last October there could be others that are currently unknown that we'll find out about before 2027.

OMG IT'S ABOUT TO HIT!

RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO SERIOUSLY!

I'M GETTING OFF THE COMPUTER NOW!

Well my GPS aint working. won't find signal. any1 else here in oz got gps on?

I must compliment ats1629 too on the count down timer... certain threads could make good use of that capability . I'm about halfway through a nice Bolivar - Coronas and I've switched from Chivas to Drambuie. The Missus' has let me off the chain... woof, grrr, party!!!!

Well we had no problems tracking our daily weather balloon earlier on. We find the balloons position using GPS.

Maybe you should check your batteries

I can just picture a thread like this on 2012.

I try not to get banned so i can have the support.

HEY! WHERE'S YOUR HARDHAT.....YOU......nut.

Would a hardhat help?

I'm going to bed, hopefully nothing insane happens.

Peace

While I understand the excitement, please remember this is a big thread and the one liners and short response that do not contribute to the discussion need to stop.

just put new batt's in.buggar hope uits not cactus i wanted it for camping this weekend.

You know how monarch butterflies go on that huge migratory journey every year? Yea.. well, they decided to migrate to my stomach this year... that's how nervous I am

well I've been looking through the archive on that site with the magnetosphere.

When I first posted on this thread I tried to see how often this type of thing occurs with the magnetosphere because I did not know how normal this was.
At first many of the videos showed much less intensity, but now I've been able to find many just as intense as tonight, with some frequency - So I'm leaning towards it being just a coincidence.

It was surprising to watch it get more intense as the close approach time got closer. It was so calm earlier today.

It still could be related but after seeing how often this kind of intensity happens I'm leaning to just coincidence.
