What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

Here is what Wiki says (no collusion in 2029 but ...)

This close flyby will drastically change its orbit. However, the Earth will also cross the asteroid's new orbit on April 13th each year. There will be another approximation as early as 2036. The exact distance is not yet known as small uncertainties regarding the position on April 13, 2029, will quickly increase after the deflection.

I think the repetition of the Carrington event is much more likely and devastating.

Oh great. Now the asteroids are colluding.

oops ...

In my phone now but will later check if it's a Tuesday or Friday 13th ( different in different countries). See how much superstition it will bring about.

Is that the asteroid? I thought it had changed course?

If you have a problem with asteroids, just get some Preparation H.

I just received a new like on a post I made in October, 2003.

That must be a record for me.

It's complicated, I think. AFAIK it will pass by, except it will pass through a certain area a few years earlier. Something like that.

Seems these collisions are so delicate, even 10 minutes or so can make a big difference.

I thought that was for As# Teroids.

If you have a problem with klingons, just call Capt Kirk.

I saw an interview where William Shatner talked about life after Star Trek ended. He went through a divorce [IIRC] and ended up living in a trailer park not far from my home. Holy cow! It dawned on me that I could have ridden my bicycle to Capt Kirk's house!

Why not " materialize" in his trailer? Sorry, not that much of a fan of the show so don't remember the precise terminology.

But I remember hearing that his attempt at humor towards his fans " Get a Life" backfired.

Shatner is still working at 90 years old. He must have a passion for it.

I've once read an interview in which he said that he never cared a lot about money and always worked if he needed to.

You mean: Shatner. Is. Still working. At. ...;).

I enjoyed his choice of. Personalizing. Punctuation. And. Emphasis. On. Whichever. Words. He. Decided to.

I remember a phoney contest in Mad Magazine where the prize was "a semester at the William Shatner school of acting."

Rip MAD. I wonder how those who worked there could transition to more traditional occupations.

 

[gmax137]

Mad Magazine, and then the National Lampoon. Some of those were hilarious from front to back.

I ask myself the same about the guys who made spongebob. Did they run out of weed?

I agree that in general if you've watched most cartoons you have a good idea of what the pot/drug experience is like.

Did you watch MadTv? I thought it had some pretty good stuff. And further back, " In Living Color" had some good stuff too. Not quite the same, but , hey, what you going to do? I ran into Living Color when someone recommend skits from Oswald Bates. I am glad I checked them out.

SpongeBob was born from a bad trip.

Oxbridge? Why not Cambford? No one asked me.

That explains the many disgusting close-ups.

What explains, though, that I sent a text time stamped at 5:15 p.m and the reply came back ( same time zone) time-stamped 5:08 p.m ?

You're far too fast. You must slow down. I know it is difficult in a city like NYC where everybody is constantly in a hurry, but you have to force yourself. Don't travel back in time.

I won't try to kill nor disturb my parents...

Why not use the last name ' Rowave' if your first name is Mike?

Had a right giggle this morning, one of my favourite scenes from this show.

Looks like the shed at Dulwich. Great food!
