| #7 Earthlings: Consider this your final warning. Release immediately our brother held hostage in the place you refer to as Mecca. Failure to comply will turn your stargazing into a sea of fire. |

| #5 Remember folks -- ALWAYS CHECK THE MARGIN OF ERROR. (And, Hot Fudge Sundae falls on a Fridae this year.) |

| #4 The Xi people are quite sensitive about things falling from the sky, and we should be as well. I hope it misses entirely. Small bits of it could become items of worship and we know where that leads. |

| #3 Yep, somehow an Asteroid hitting the earth can somehow affect other asteroids on a interception course to delay their collision... You cannot hope to bribe or twist, thank God! the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to. |

| #2 ...but only hits the Earth once every 1,200 years. Statistically-speaking, that means we're probably safe for quite a while, since a similar asteroid hit just over 100 years ago. Statistically speaking, huh? That's so ignorantly wrong it makes my head hurt to think about it. I just hope they used better math to calculate the orbital elements. |
