The asteroid, 2004XP14, was originally discovered by an observatory in New Mexico in 2004.

All these measurements and predictions are made by very smart people with degrees in astronomy and physics and other relevant stuff. Personally, I'm a little reluctant to believe that anything with the term "XP" in its name won't crash at least once.
The reason why I'm bring this up is because it got me thinking about Death and Hot Fudge Sundaes. And about my prisoners, of course. So often I get parole violaters coming back into the system who say: "Why did they pick me up? I shouldn't be here. I was doing everything right." And all I can say is: "Sometimes bad things happen even when you do everything right. Sometimes bad things happen because you do the right thing."
Asteroids happen.

I'm glad we now link to NASA, it makes me feel very important. If you hear it's going to land on my house, please phone me ASAP so I can get in that last Hot Fudge Sundae.
Ah, I just want to say that you (Dinah) and Roy are terrific and I have enjoyed blogging with you both. To everyone, it's been a great blog. Have a wonderful Last Day On Earth and make it count. Hug your kids if you've got 'em and don't forget the hot fudge sundaes. For me, that would be gourmet coffee and the hottest possible salsa. And dark Belgian chocolate. And a nap with a good book and a cat.
Asteroid or no asteroid, for us in the States this is a holiday weekend. Get out and enjoy it!
Umm, hate to disappoint, but what I read was that you need at least an 8" telescope to see it, as it is only Magnitude 11 (saying it like I really know what that means... I guess it's dim).
Love the crashing XP reference, Clink!
Doesn't Chicken Little work for CNN now? HA!
