it's all going to happen soon! Then we will find the Covenant, The Flood, Wraith ehmmm themmm..... Cylons! Borgs and thanks to some genius Italian we will all die suffering from plasma burns (remember, rebels don't have plasma guns...), we will be assimilated and we are really screwed now.

According to TFA, the asteroid is mostly black and "aircraft carrier sized". The first thing that flashed into my mind was that it would be very interesting if radar images during the flyby revealed it was in fact a very, Very VERY old spacecraft.

from a galaxy far away... my guess it is a Tantive IV, size fits. A bit.

if not nuclear power then what? I haven't heard about this guy from Italy that his cold fusion worked so we will be using resources like coal... which will dissapear probably by the beginning of the next century. Wind and solar power, OK, but not everywhere... so, please enlighten me what my grandkids will have to run their xboxes, dishwashers and ipads...

My experience, from Sweden, is that some people are dicks. That's about it.

We have a couple of local cops who are hated by lots of people in their twenties for reasons that seem to mostly revolve around those particular cops being part of the local police department's "youth group" that focuses both on solving crimes committed by teenagers but also keeping an eye on what goes on in local parks in the summer and such things. I know that for a while there was a website that posted a bunch of personal information about one of them.

So basically, some people feel that they are justified in being dicks if the cops ruin their (illegal) fun. I myself have met these particular police officers a few times late at night, the worst that I've ever been subjected to was a "please don't drink beer in public south of that bridge, local ordinances say you can't drink in public south of there"...

Man... I always thought that you CAN'T drink any booze in public in Sweden,...it is limited to only "south" direction of places? how about public north of that bridge?About people being dicks, you're right. Police is for ENFORCING law, thats their job, some people bake bread, others are lawyers and others just don't care and break the rules. And that is where police come in.
