The sky is falling! Duck and cover! Get a helmet!

Are you sure we need HELMETS!!!

 

Will it protect from d_b?

You need a TARDIS for that.

(Damn. Oh well. At least my subject line makes more sense.)

 

The thing might land on Hawai'i. Okay, so I admit that it's the part of Hawai'i that's all uninhabited islands where you can't connect to this site, but it's still part of the 50th state.

Of course, there's a good bit of water there that will probably get the brunt of it.

This link goes to a .KMZ file that opens in your installed copy of Google Earth; without Google Earth you'll get nothing and like it.

 

Whenever I go out over the course of the next couple of days, I'll be sure to take my umbrella with me.

 

If it ain't raining, it's not an umbrella -- it's a parasol.

 

If the missile does its job, it'll be raining satellite parts.
If not, well, there's $60 million down the toilet. Thanks for playing.
