So we could get two for the price of one then! :lol:
As I pointed out elsewhere the gloom and doom merchants, here in after call Prophets, have been predicting the 'End' for about 6000 yrs. Not a good track record is it?

The earth will continue even if a rock puts a big dent in it. Cars keep running with dented fenders.

Hey Min! Your observation reminded me of the title of a sci-fi book I read many years ago... :)

:D I LOVE post-apocalyptic sci-fi! :D

Try reading Earth Abides by George R. Stewart. It's a hoot.

Of course, the major meltdown was a pandemic rather than an asteroid, but it's still entertaining. :lol:
