		<description>The guy is a threat, not the asteroid. Jokermage, I’m waiting for a video post too.
I really enjoyed this article. You have very good blog with good quality recordings. Thanks for the article.</description>

		<description>hey, I guess the next doomsday will be on May, when the LHC will be generating micro blackholes, strangelets and time/space gateways, according to Russian scientists... :)

At least the plausibility of a disaster of cataclysmic proportions is somewhat bigger than the TU24 :P

(who  knows, Hawking was wrong once, if his hypothesis is wrong again, then we could be swallowed by a black hole... yeeey)</description>

		<description>i just want to know if anyone got any good pics of it with the moon? maybe some stacked images.... anything, cause down here it was raining and overcast for me to drag my gear out.


Hell any pictures


[And what does it mean to “blow from the polarity”?]
ionic winds... magnetosphere, etc... OR... a bj from a bi-polar hooker, which ever you can handle take it...</description>

		<description>All of this talk about the weather being affected by TU24 is a bunch of crap.  I live in the Midwest and we have temperature drops like that during the winter sometimes.  It&#039;s really not that big of a deal and plus, if the asteroid was the cause of all the weather being cold or whatever, wouldn&#039;t it still be below zero here like it was yesterday?  A bunch of crap if you ask me.</description>

Completely false.  Tunguska was a piece of a comet or asteroid that exploded in the Earth&#039;s atmosphere due to thermal and compression stress.  No UFOs necessary.</description>

		<description>i just found out about the asteroid this evening.  i read all these blogs, yes i have no life.
i was thinking about Tunguska and what happens when you drop a hot piece of glass or anything into cold water.

keep in mind i have no degree in anything...yet, but it could have happend that way right?

also i am a bit disappointed about tu24 not affecting us, its just like y2k.</description>

		<description>However, questions about the effects of “dark energy” emerged from the shadowy world of string theory and extended supergravity. “We have found that some of the best attempts to describe dark energy predict that it will gradually become negative, which will cause the universe to become unstable, then collapse,” Linde said. “People who studied general relativity many years ago were aware of this, but to them, this was an academic possibility. It was weird to think about negative vacuum energy seriously. Now we have some reasons to believe it.”

NEGITIVE ENERGY IS REAL !!!</description>

		<description>Saying the Tunguska impactor didn&#039;t hit us is like saying a bullet lodged in your skull didn&#039;t hit you, simply because it didn&#039;t quite reach your brain.  It&#039;s not even analogous to a &quot;grazing wound&quot; in which the bullet does some damage as it whizzes by.  We stopped the bullet!  If the Tunguska impactor had not directly hit us, then it (or its fragments) would still be out there, and it isn&#039;t.  Hitting the atmosphere is as good as hitting the ground in that the Tunguska impactor transfered its full kinetic energy to our world.  Using your logic, comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 never hit Jupiter, a gas giant.  The fact that the Tunguska impactor wasn&#039;t quite big enough to reach the ground before it vaporized is immaterial.  The damage was direct because it hit us directly.

And what does it mean to &quot;blow from the polarity&quot;?  Regardless of what it means, the damage done at Tunguska is sufficiently and fully explained by a transfer of kinetic energy, without the need to invoke theories involving polarity, charge, or plasma.</description>

		<description>Ok One Tunguska didn&#039;t hit us it blew from the polarity, nothing has to hit us to do direct damage.  Even if the planet isn&#039;t effected, if the magnetosphere is in that something happens to it that causes large amounts of solar wind to get in everyone is f#%ked.  Seen the Core?  Take what happened in the movie on the surface but accelerate it.  The Core won&#039;t stop spinning, but the magnetosphere could be effected.  Since it is the 29th and nothing has happened in the last few days then most likely nothing will, but no jinx from me.</description>

		<description>Yes, I am still here.  A bit hard to keep up on the threads though :)</description>

		<description>January 30th here. Nothing happened! TU24dotORG is a lonely little boy with no one to play with. so sorry.</description>
