TEOLAWKI - The End of Life as We Know It - threatens again.

Folks, the news from outer space just keeps getting worse and worse.

First, the supernova and galactic-attack scenarios.

Then the predicted return of the comet Genondahwayanung, which pretty much annihilated most life in North America when it came here the first time.

And now?

Massive Gas Cloud Speeding Toward Collision With Milky Way!

ScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2008) — A giant cloud of hydrogen gas is speeding toward a collision with our Milky Way Galaxy, and when it hits -- in less than 40 million years -- it may set off a spectacular burst of stellar fireworks.

Time is running out. Don't go see "The Bucket List," make your own bucket list!

"The leading edge of this cloud is already interacting with gas from our Galaxy," said Felix J. Lockman, of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).

Fireworks? Fireworks? Good heavens, man, it's TEOLAWKI!
