    Conspiracy time!

    If Apophis was actually going to hit the earth with game changing effects would NASA (an arm of the US government) actually tell us the truth?

    reasons to tell us:

    1. the sudden surge in sales of everything would be good for the economy
    2. finally there would be a reason for all the crazies to use up all their ammo
    3. we would have every reason to have a great party -- and no hangovers
    4. irrational behavior pretty much drives the markets, so this could be really good for stocks

    reasons not to tell us:

    1. the fundies of all faiths would likely clog the town square and disrupt #1 above
    2. the aliens only have room for justin beiber on the mother ship and the last thing we need is a bunch of justin beibers running around all clamoring for the single seat off this rock
    3. the banks want us to keep on paying our bills
    4. congress would have even more reasons to not do anything useful

    Apophis-Free Zone?

    I declared my neighbourhood a Hillbilly-free zone years ago, but for some reason they still keep showing up on my lawn wantn kemstry lessons.

    I don't know why, but such declarations just don't seem to matter much.
