  1. How do we keep Los Angeles from hitting it? It would never recover from being hit by an entire city.

  2. This bullshit three ring circus sideshow
    Of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
    The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
    Any fucking time, any fucking day
    Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay

    Sometime in the next ten-thousand years a comet’s going to wipe out all trace of man, I’m banking on it coming before my end of year exams

    Sometimes god’s gotta put the foot down. But may i suggest the white house instead of LA

  5. What would the world’s largest strip mines look like on an object that size.

    Edit: I looked up some numbers. Comet 67p is about 2miles/4km wide, about 19 to 21 cubic km. The Bingham mine in Utah, world’s largest, is about 2 miles wide and .75 miles deep, has had about 3.3 cubic km of material removed.

  6. Fun fact: That comet is about half as dense as water. If it GENTLY landed in the ocean, it would float. Then probably melt and crumble.
