ahaha
have they got any idea where it's gonna crash?

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 5:12am

they're not keen to make predictions since the last time they tried in 1979 they said South Africa and it hit australia. they don't want to look foolish.

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 6:57am

I'll keep a lookout for it

Goldendust on Sep 22 '11 at 7:25am

I can understand why they had trouble predicting it... them satellites move pretty darned speedily.

But yeah. There's a 1/3200 chance of a person getting hit by the debris... so if something strange falls out of the sky, don't try to catch it.

Ste7en on Sep 22 '11 at 7:27am

motherfucker.

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 7:27am

if i see it coming i'm shoving a trampoline under it.

Ste7en on Sep 22 '11 at 7:32am

thats what she said

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 7:45am

that's filthy ste7en. i was picturing roadrunner cartoons.

Ste7en on Sep 22 '11 at 7:54am

those are filthier! THEY TAKE PLACE IN THE DESERT! FULL OF DIRT.

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 7:59am

Or put a big, U-shaped pipe under it and it goes in and shoots out the other end

charity.ryan on Sep 22 '11 at 8:24am

sure they said satellite and not "anvil" or "piano"???

otherwise you boys are approaching this wrong

GyleDesigns on Sep 22 '11 at 8:26am

Portals. Or it will run out of gas right before it hits the ground and stop mid air.

And I'd rather see a bus the size of a satellite, frankly. Though in this case, of course, they're pretty much the same.

SJ27 on Sep 22 '11 at 8:28am

Can someone who understands probablility explain to me what 1 in 3200 means? They take into account that there's 6 billion people in the world right? It's not like they're saying every 3200th person on Earth is going to get hit by a bit of this, yeah?

deep space monkey on Sep 22 '11 at 8:29am

hahahaha!

enjoy our space trash rest of earth!

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 9:04am

i big yellow schoolbus dropping from the sky would make my day.

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 9:06am

i big

charity.ryan on Sep 22 '11 at 9:08am

that's what he said

Adhesive Hippo on Sep 22 '11 at 9:14am

I normally miss the bus anyway so I should be fine.

I other news, I saw the Columbia Shuttle explode in the air at a soccer tournament. Everybody just stopped and had no idea what to do.

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 5:14pm

that would be a surreal thing to experience

Ste7en on Sep 22 '11 at 5:22pm

my friend from elementary school was at the launch when that happened, the family have photos, so crazy

shirtflirt on Sep 22 '11 at 5:25pm

i once saw a bird fly right into a window

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 5:28pm

I've seen a dog puke up a pound of cat food

shirtflirt on Sep 22 '11 at 5:28pm

i've seen a cat puke up something that was the color of death and smelled like the color of death

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 5:41pm

When Hank the dog was a puppy he shit on the carpet. It was huge.

shirtflirt on Sep 22 '11 at 5:45pm

is that the dog's name Hang the Dog?

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 5:58pm

i've seen a dog puke up a pound of small intact frogs

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 6:01pm

Hankton sometimes
sometimes I go with Hankdog
or just dog

but on forms it's probably just Hank

SuperRyan on Sep 22 '11 at 6:02pm

frogdog

Goldendust on Sep 22 '11 at 7:01pm

SJ, I thought it might sound wrong written that way. I suppose it should say that there's a 1/3200 chance that one (or more? IDK) of the 6 billion people on this earth will get hit by a piece of debris?

Goodness knows how they worked it out though. If they can figure stuff like that out then they SHOULD be able to work out where it's gonna land.

Also... Frogs? Really?

d3d on Sep 22 '11 at 7:07pm

yeah. he found a ditch full of them and i guess they looked delicious, and then weren't.

Sarcasticatbest on Sep 22 '11 at 7:10pm

Something is supposed to hit Canada (Nunavut area) tomorrow, but there's a 1 in 300+? that it'll hit anyone.

Adhesive Hippo on Sep 22 '11 at 9:27pm

I've seen a cat yawn.

Steve The Great on Sep 22 '11 at 9:29pm

EVERYONE GETS A BIT!!!!!

Steve The Great on Sep 22 '11 at 9:29pm

also frog vomit

Off topic, but we're actually about to hit 7 billion people, which is pretty staggering to increase the population of earth by 1 billion people in 12 years.

[+duracell-] on Sep 22 '11 at 9:40pm

they know where its going to land they just dont want to cause mass panic

Jake Friedman on Sep 22 '11 at 9:42pm

I hope it hits my school! Three day weekend, baby!

sonmi on Sep 22 '11 at 9:47pm

dangit! i had forgotten about this. now i will be paranoid again.

Goldendust on Sep 22 '11 at 10:23pm

... We're nearly at 7 billion already?

Holy crap.

taz-pie on Sep 23 '11 at 2:24am

omg frogvom
that must have been DISGUSTING to witness

SJ27 on Sep 23 '11 at 3:13am

Ugh 7 billion already? It's like with so many people in the world now we think disasters like earthquakes are getting more frequent or worse, but really people are just living in larger numbers in more precarious positions. With an extra billion people for falling space crap to aim at, it's only a matter of time isn't it.

SJ27 on Sep 23 '11 at 3:14am

Anyone ever see this show? I always think about it whe I hear about this because the girl gets killed by a toilet seat from the Mir space station.

fc gravy on Sep 23 '11 at 4:41am

this isn't going to be one of those you wait all day for one and then 2 come at the same time?

ninety-nine on Sep 23 '11 at 5:10am

has it landed anywhere yet?

jet approves on Sep 23 '11 at 6:38am

definitely thought of dead like me when i read this.

jet approves on Sep 23 '11 at 6:43am

they're saying now that it's supposed to clear north america. guess that means you have a higher chance of taking the bus satellite in other continents now.

SJ27 on Sep 24 '11 at 9:43pm

On the probablity thing, this article says that the probability it could have hit a given individual is 1 in 21 trillion. I wonder why no one was reporting that number as widely as the 3200 one, because it sure makes me feel a lot safer.
