OT: 3 fold increase...

[Frabjous]

If you’ve noticed something different happening these past 290 million years, it’s not just you—the rate of asteroids striking Earth and the moon have increased sharply, from once every 3 million years to once every 1 million years. Be careful out there. Mom says, bring an umbrella.

Small sample size. Too early to draw any real conclusions.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Are more asteroids less likely to strike a flat earth, or a spherical earth?

 

[Alan Smithee]

I doubt this; where was it during the ND/USC game?

It would be just NU's luck to have an asteroid hit earth the week we play in our first national championship game.

Is this like 100 year floods happening a lot more often? Let's blame it on global warming.

No worries.

Global devastation and mass extinction as such will occur only after an NU national title, so says my thoughtful and learned interpretation of the various harbingers found in the Book of Revelation.

It will be a sign of the end times
