- Tonberryjackal, on 05/10/2008, -3/+6Canada: You're not my friend, guy
Asteroid: You're not my guy, budday- Jeffler, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7+1 for the effort, but its wrong. Its guy/friend-friend/buddy-buddy/guy for future reference.
- JettaMan, on 05/10/2008, -6/+2What a waste of tax payer money. These are one in a hundred million year events.
- tmbrwolf19, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Nope, actually asteroid strikes are quite common. The Tunguska event in Siberia in 1908 is about 100-200 year interval event, and that yielded at about 15 or so megatons from 10 meter wide rock. The larger the rock, the longer the return interval. Even if we aren't looking at planet killers, large scale impacts are still a very real risk.
- FireStalker, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1did they hire bruce willis?
- sKiLLa182, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1The $10 million dollars alone would not be enough.

- unreg, on 05/10/2008, -0/+710 million dollars?
To put that in perspective, the Armageddon movie budget was $140 million. - sKiLLa182, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1They better attach a 'Canadarm' to it.
- TubeDigger, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I SMOKE ROCKS!!
- Flashman, on 05/10/2008, -0/+18Why Canada? Everyone knows that asteroids always hit New York first, then other American cities in descending importance.
- londubh, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Well, if they can't find Sasquatch, what makes them think they can find killer asteroids?
- sKiLLa182, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4He's on a Kokanee bottle, duh.

- bitterbug, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Once we find them, we'll allow corporate sponsors to place advertising on them. One company has been preparing for years with its "Molson Canadian Rocks!" campaign.
- hempydave, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1It's the only PC left we can shoot at.
