Asteroid Makes Close Earth Flyby AFP Animation of the Flyby Posted Image March 19, 2004 —An asteroid 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter on Thursday made the closest approach to Earth ever recorded, though there was never danger of a collision, NASA said. The asteroid, nicknamed "2004 FH," passed 43,000 kilometers (26,500 miles) from Earth at 5:08 p.m. ET, according to researchers funded by NASA. An average of one object roughly the size of this asteroid passes within a similar distance about every two years, but in the past they had gone undetected. |

They're getting closer. Soon (relatively), they will smash into Earth. The impact will be so large that it will break the planet apart, sending pieces into the sun. This wall cause the sun to go supernova for scientific reasons that I do not understand, wiping out the rest of our galaxy. Eventually, the sun will turn into a black hole the size of our galaxy. It will consume everything in the universe until nothing is left and it consumes itself. There. I just turned a random event into the end of everything that is. I'm happy now. :) |

No, anarchy is a political idea. It's the concept of having no government or rules. |

the original essential ideal there is political yes..but there is one that runs along the same lines...but the end of the equation being extinction of the race, not of government. But I can't remember what we called it. Its been a year or two. |

Personally, I love how popular anarchy is among teenagers. I want to buy an island and call it an anarchist's paradise, and have no rules there. Then, when people arrive, I'll shoot them and take everything they have. |
