This included buildings and food storage. Thankfully for the German people, his men refused to follow this order. But computers are stupid, they'll do anything for anyone with the right access code. The CNN special said that if an asteroid is two months away from hitting, we're screwed, either repent your sins or have sex with anything that moves. Or both, nobody's stopping you. In that same vein, if Saddam got it in his head to hack the SDI and pull in an asteroid, it's unlikely that it'll be a close call before we fix the situation. They also said that we'd be just as screwed if it lands in the ocean as if it lands on land. They should rename CNN the "Things That Could Kill You" channel, while they're renaming MSNBC the "Talking Heads Babble About Lewinskygate" channel. I tell you, the History Channel talks about Hitler less than MSNBC talks about the Clinton-Lewinsky-Starr love triangle. Hey, if Monica Lewinsky lands a mass driver on an asteroid and sends it plummeting towards the earth, which channel should I watch? -- Nick Bensema 98-KUPD Red Card #710563 UIN: 2135445 ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
