The Huge Entity: What will you be doing when Apophis hits?

What will you be doing when Apophis hits?

Thursday, December 08, 2005 → by Danieru

"Nasa has estimated that an impact from [asteroid] Apophis, which has an outside chance of hitting the Earth in 2036, would release more than 100,000 times the energy released in the nuclear blast over Hiroshima. Thousands of square kilometres would be directly affected by the blast but the whole of the Earth would see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere." - link

Everyone remembers what they were doing when Martin Luther King was shot, when the World Trade Towers were attacked, when John Peel died... the biggies mean the most because they are ushered in with the most surprise. Here's our chance to finally know when a big moment might occur and all we can do is talk about ways to avoid it!

I say screw it. Nature is constantly throwing huge, space-born entities at Earth - usually for the better of evolution yet to come. It's not often that the entire human population of Earth get together to shit their pants over something. And besides, it'll be cool...

What will you be doing when asteroid Apophis hits? I've got me a few ideas:

Attending Ray Kurzweil's funeral
Getting my neurons defragmented
Evolving
Enjoying a delicious human-flavoured snack
Writing the 8000^th Huge Entity post
Screaming in heart wrenching panic

Or just maybe it will miss after all... But just in case, what will you be doing?

I'll be watching a remastered DVD of the suddenly-famous Apollo 13, whose limited Special Box edition will come out on sale only 30 days before the great Apophis plunge. I'll close my eyes and let myself be lulled by the sweet music of Aerosmith, safe in the knowledge that my body is free of Thetans.

Then the ghost of Ron L. Hubbard will come and feast on my immortal soul.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......... In 2036 eh. I might be on a vaction to the moon at Luner Leasure Living, basking in the sun on the shore of Lake Neil Armstrong. Hahaha nah, but really I'm not sure. I'll be 48 years old. I might be telling my kids that I grew up on Poptarts and DVDs. They might ask me about when the Labtop was invented LOL. Hell by that year somebody has got to have invented something that will get rid of this bad ass from space. Our time as a species on this planet hasn't been long, but I say that we havn't come from 36 million years of evolution just to be swiped off. I say that we send this bastard back to the darkness of space - or you can just blow it all to hell. Either one works, just as long as I'm not killed in the process I'm okay with it.

maybe much people 'll be disapointing cause they had opportunity to find the truth about God, and they miss it,
After all the bible predict about a similary event for end of time
however no body want to take care about his eternity

hi i am ashily i think that when the Asteroid strikes the Earth that it might be the end of the world. I think that when this time period comes people will turn closer to god. god said that someday the earth would come to a close and that the lord our god would come down to earth and take all of his followers with him.

What will I be Doing if its going to hit in 2036? I'll be holding my family close to me and never let them go, and pray that new life will start over. I pray it doesnt hit us, but I have a feeling it will, I also had a dream about it im not making that up either.If it does I want you all to know I love you and so does god.. I hope everyone straightings up before this happens its about time we need to act mature. I hope something of ours isnt distroyed then the new life could learn about us.

IF - and this is a big IF, mind you - Apophis does actually hit us in 2036 it will not be the end of the world. it's not even going to kill off humanity. this will not be an extinction-causing asteroid. it will definitely be the worst natural disaster ever recorded in current mankind history, but it won't kill us all. better yet, with knowing about it and calculating it's movements, we can even prevent anyone from dying. but some of you nuts will just ignore this information because you're too blind by your own "faith", isn't that right?
