The chance that humans could impact such a large object in an way, is pretty slim.
This argument sounds familiar for some reason

All that's missing is a link to Alex Jones' prisonplanet.com website.
I'm thoroughly convinced he's responsible for all of these types of articles lately! (A conspiracy involving conspiracy theorists!)
That's why the iPhone is the single best selling (and most profitable) individual smartphone out there. Because it works well.
Nice skew on the data

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

In addition to the lack of documentation, an entry in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations labels this quotation as "obviously spurious" for contextual reasons, noting that the Oxford English Dictionary's (OED) earliest citation for the word "deflation" (as related to currency) dates only to 1920. (The OED's earliest citation for the word "inflation" used in a financial sense dates to 1838, which means that usage might have been known during Jefferson's lifetime.)

Or $700 billion but what's a few billion between friends
