Meteors, Asteroids and Zombies


                                                                   

Okay, is anyone else a little spooked by the large rock that made a drive by, last week? No not the meteor that exploded over Russia, for which I’m sending out my sympathy and prayers to the poor souls of the Chelyabinsk region.

                                                                           
 No, I’m talking about that big asteroid that not only passes us each year, but gets closer and closer with each yearly drive by. Do you know that NASA keeps a list of the most dangerous asteroids? In fact there is one that goes by the name of 2012DA14. See that number 14 at the end? I think it’s a secret code for either “Holy dog doo Batman” or “Give my regards to planet Earth”

This asteroid is capable of doing to us what its older brother did to the dinosaurs that weren’t already extinct.
                                                                                                                                
It’s large enough to terminate most life on earth, although I’m pretty certain that politicians and roaches will survive the blast. No, I’m not singling out the Tea Party, but all political parties, and that leads to my discussion on zombies.
                                                                    
The strange goings on in Congress has me worried that the zombie apocalypse is already here. I’m not talking about the drooling, shuffling, brain eating zombie. No! Those zombies we can handle. I’m talking about the clueless people on Capitol Hill. How else could you explain the strange phenomenon where supposedly intelligent people go loopy as soon as they give notice that they’re running for office. They are zombies! It’s the only explanation.
                                                                              
Oh, and just in case that Russian meteor was carrying the zombie virus, Canada is now preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse. Honest, it was in the news. Three cheers for our neighbors to the North.



What does this have to do with the asteroid? Everything and I’ll start with this question, “Are we prepared to survive a full scale disaster from an asteroid?” One can only hope, but…with some of the people in congress not even believing in climate change or evolution, I’m afraid that our days are numbered.
