I was a bit off on that one last night but you get the point.


I would also like to point out I DO read Playboy for the articles!lol(This is from the July 2005 issue)

Ah, now I get ya Pink. Not burning it up but pushing it out of the way. I;ve heard of this one, and I'm not sure, but I think they estimated something like an 800 year headstart to be able to push it far enough!

Mind you, get Bruce Willis up there, he could do it even if it was right on top of us! ;)

I think it will be either a meteore or some megalomaniac creating a war. What you have to remember is earth has survived Ice ages, meteores and such and creatures have survived that. And they didn't have technology. I think us humans will fight it and fight until we come out victorious and the only thingthatcan stop us is the sun.

Ah, but is technology actually the crutch that will be snatched out from underneath us? If we suddenly didn't have it any more, how many of us could REALLY survive using only the skills we have? Not me for sure.

I see what you're saying about technology, though. We now have tools with which to make a difference. That's what I mean about a race... either our technology (or our intelligence) adapts quickly enough to save us from wahtever threat comes along, or we're screwed. That's evolution.

I think were screwed... If some thing catastrophic does happen... how many people do you know that can keep even a power plant open to keep our electricity going
