- roomforpanic, on 02/23/2008, -2/+84New pickup lines:
"So, this'll all be gone in less than 8 billion years, why don't you and me make good use of the time?"
"So, I hear the sun swallows..." - aksn1p3r, on 02/23/2008, -1/+82Future diggers, recycle this post for millions of years!
- 30thElement, on 02/23/2008, -1/+68To put that in perspective, the Earth is 4.6 billion years old.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 02/23/2008, -1/+54Does this mean I don't have to do my taxes?
- hauntedchippy, on 02/23/2008, -1/+52Coming next summer, a Michael Bay film "Oh ***** there's a big space disaster thing going on and only a nuke can save the day"
- jdeuel, on 02/23/2008, -0/+41Don't Panic
- mrisi, on 02/23/2008, -3/+36No it ain't, 'cuz if you add up everyone's age in the Good Book, it's 6,000 years.
- mleaman, on 02/23/2008, -3/+30Here's how we can save the Earth from crashing into the sun...
Everyone on the sunny side of the Earth should pass gas in the general direction of the sun, while everyone on the dark side of the Earth holds it in until daylight arrives. If we repeat that, daily, over the course of the next 7 billion years, we may be able to buy ourselves an extra decade... Or perhaps even an entire century! - carpespasm, on 02/23/2008, -0/+26in either case it will be shorter by the end of the day. Either burned or cut off.
- gofalcons, on 02/23/2008, -4/+29I think the real question is, how will this affect Britney Spears?
- markperia, on 02/23/2008, -0/+24Get yourself a towel and stick your thumb up now. In case someone passes by.
- aqzman, on 02/23/2008, -2/+24The human race that we know will be long dead by then, unless ofcourse we're able to populate another planet.
- Ratteler, on 02/23/2008, -2/+23Whew... I first read that as 7.6 Million years. Can you imagine?
- mal1964, on 02/23/2008, -2/+23Sound like a job for SUPERMAN!
- sishgupta, on 02/23/2008, -1/+22And discounts the existence of dinosaurs! The guys with the PHDz are lying to us!
- Duggan360, on 02/23/2008, -0/+20You wont be able to notice global warming once the sun is about 1-foot from the earth :D
- dartmanx, on 02/23/2008, -0/+18Actually, the mass release of methane will simply increase global warming.
- matthewaaron, on 02/23/2008, -1/+19No worries, I have an appointment set in Outlook. Anyone want to be invited?
- mywhitenoise, on 02/23/2008, -2/+20People dugg this down? Are there really 8 people out there who think humans are going to live that long?
- lntrigue, on 02/23/2008, -1/+18i'm not worried. i'm betting on the fact that in 7.6 bl yrs google can develop a real google earth (only accessible to those with a gearth invitation of course)
- illspaz, on 02/23/2008, -1/+18you guys are being inconsiderate. think about your children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's (x10 ^ 9) children.
- UndeadZmobie, on 02/23/2008, -1/+17Even in 7.5 billion years, you'll still have another 100 million years.
- DjSandman87, on 02/23/2008, -1/+17"Ok, here at NASA we've discovered a way to save the earth. Send this email.." EVERYONE JUMP TO 'YOUR' RIGHT ON (some day) Forward this email to 10 people or the human race will cease to exist."
- Antz0rz, on 02/23/2008, -2/+17only 7.6 billion years?
damn. that leaves little time for anything - Totz83, on 02/23/2008, -4/+18In 7.5 billion years I'll give a *****
- illspaz, on 02/23/2008, -1/+15good book? you mean harry potter?
- LeeSoong, on 02/23/2008, -0/+13Looks like I wont have to worry about returning those library books after all . . .
- Thefatheroftime, on 02/23/2008, -1/+147.6 billion years of evolution says there's NO WAY humans will even be in this form anymore.
- yujie, on 02/23/2008, -1/+13Time to move to Alpha Centauri
- vertinox, on 02/23/2008, -0/+12We'll have to shoot the missile at night to keep it from burning up in the heat!
- mleaman, on 02/23/2008, -0/+12Does that mean the weekends are getting shorter?
- jchaines, on 02/23/2008, -1/+12Not like it matters, doesn't the sun only have a useful life of 5 Billion more years? Plus, I'd say unless we take a Star Trek style exit outta here, we got far less time before the Earth gets tired of us.
- Ratteler, on 02/23/2008, -1/+12Cheney is working on it.
- Patrickdnj, on 02/23/2008, -0/+10Shhh.......Don't tell him.........Let him have his moment.............
- scott1, on 02/23/2008, -0/+10I was going to play Doom:Forever but I think I will just change my plans to "watching the end of the world"....It should fun watching the oceans being evaporated and rocks being liquid and the evaporating as well.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -1/+10Having global warming in mind, I think that the Earth will destroy/regenerate itself more than twice before that happens. In other words: that's humans 4.0 problem.
- Lutremi, on 02/23/2008, -0/+9You are turning into a penguin, stop it!
- TurboBeard, on 02/23/2008, -0/+9Don't fart in the dark! Don't fart in the dark!
- Comanche, on 02/23/2008, -2/+11Whew, Nothing to worry about for another 7.599999999 billion years.
- Ploosheeta, on 02/23/2008, -5/+14Last time I checked, 7.6 billion years wasn't considered "near".
- hauntedchippy, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8Chin up old chap
- theOster, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8VENT LIKE THE WIND!
- waspbr, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9that's the problem with mankind, everyone keeps on procrastinating until the last minute
- floyd427, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9And when that useful life ends, the sun will become a red giant, meaning that it will expand beyond our orbit, enveloping us then. For this to have any bearing whatsoever we would have to assume that we have the technology to replace our sun with a younger one. And, assuming we have that technology, we can certainly manage orbit correction on a small rock such as ours.
- KennMac, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8Okay, and that will help how, when the Sun swallows Mar's orbit also?
- worthone, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8Great idea, do you suppose we should bomb the sun to smithereens?
- Pilot85, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8My God, that's just crazy enough to work!
