Free Range by Bill Whitehead for November 03, 2023

“Mass Extinction by collision.”

“Screaming” comes to mind…………….

Hopefully “veering.”

“Imaginary”

Well, the word ‘hurl’ comes to mind!!!

Is there a poet in the house?

How about “ YIKES”?

e) All of the above.

That had better be a crossword puzzle he’s working on.

It is important to describe these things accurately.

Decimating? Pulverizing? Destroying?

Obliterating.

See today’s “Strange Brew” for a view of the same event from outside.

Go with “looming”. People will be reminded to wear clean underwear. The endorsement deals will be lucrative.

Unfortunately, this fate will happen one day. When? we haven’t a clue but that’s what keeps life exciting, you never know when you’re going to go. Have a nice day.

“RUN”!

Armageddon, doomsday, several other words will follow.

Your colleagues both just dookied.

A simple goodbye should do it.

Break out the word dinosaur. You know, the thesaurus.

How about “unlikely” heading directly toward earth? An asteroid would more likely be moving in an elliptical path/orbit which may cross over earth’s orbital path.

Sequel?

Forget that, I’m jumping into the TARDIS and leaving with the Doctor.

Where did I leave my catcher’s mitt?

According to google, the asteroid that “killed the dinosaurs” was about 6 miles in diameter. The Vredefort crater in south Africa was formed by an asteroid about 9.3 miles in diameter.

I think hurtling is the accepted term.

Impacting

A million meter per minute mosey.

An ancient Chinese expression for such a situation: Horry shrit!

Hopefully we able to see on the news at 11.

Best time to start, praying, and hope for a here after.

Crashing?

I could check with my astronomer friend, but my first thought would be hurtling.
