Hidden planet ‘to smash into Earth on September 23, killing us all’

[ravip]

Tell that special person how you really feel and don’t bother going into work, because the end is nigh!
Or at least that what conspiracy theorists believe. They are preparing for a hidden Planet X, which for some reason has not been detected by Nasa, is going to smash into the planet, wiping out the human race and nearly all life this Saturday.

And now I am plagued with the question: what to do until Saturday to waste my savings.

Couldn't they give an earlier note

No problemo: "Live every day as though it were your last; the hour that you do not expect will come as a pleasant surprise." Somehow I think I'm gonna be pleasantly surprised on Sunday but if not, I doubt I'll care - "non fui, fui, non sum, non curo ".

Evidently it missed.

Just postponed a couple of days.

It's now been identified as Asteroid 2012 TC4 and will hit on October 12

 

OK, I faked a bit. It is long known and will be "close", 44000 km.
