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.Fireworks? Fireworks? Good heavens, man, it's TEOLAWKI!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).
Hat tip: American Digest, whose post leads with this priceless nugget: "Our premise made stupid: Study Shows over 68% of Science Stories Have Scientific Errors but.... but "over 42% of the stories were completely accurate."

Hold me.
Why, Glen... with your glasses off, you're... beautiful!
Edit: Umm, but I don't mean that in an unambiguously gay way. It isn't gay if you're scared or cold enough. Right?
Or drunk. What?!
Does this mean that more than 100% of the stories were either right or wrong?
I'm dumping all my long-term investments.
Nortius,
Did you mean to leave off the obligatory NTTAWWT? ;-)
Note to self: don't start any trilogies.
(btw, your first link is bad)
Kirk: I agonized over that decision. I was either too drunk, cold, scared or... ...gay?... to include the disclaimer.
Not That There's Anything Wrong With Those.
Link corrected, thanks!
It's the End of the World as We Know it - and I feel fine.
As Moe from The Simpsons once said:
"Let's burn down the observatory so this'll never happen again!"
