The frickin sky is falling, so is Wall Street

[Glidergeek]

It's not funny but I couldn't think of any other place to put this

The odds that a falling satellite will kill you on Friday are probably zero — but maybe not quite.
A dead hulk of a NASA satellite the size of a bus is skimming the top of the atmosphere, and as air molecules bounce off, its orbit is decaying until gravity finally pulls it down as a fiery meteor. To be specific, 26 large pieces of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, the heaviest about 330 pounds, are expected to survive all the way and hit the surface. The debris will stretch along a 500-mile path.

The frickin sky is falling, so is Wall Street

Hey, I come here to forget my friggin' problems....
I don't need them thrown up in my face here, too!
Next thing I know, you'll be telling me my airplanes are plummeting in value.
Oh. That's right. We kinda covered that on several topics....

Where are those damn pills....

Edit: Isn't there an 'emoticon' for crying, too?
I just wanted to indicate this was said in jest. Sometimes my 'tongue in cheek' gets taken to seriously on the web.
I want you to know my emotions don't run my life, my brain cells do. Dontcha, guys. Guys? GUYS!?
*mumbles*- I know I had at least TWO around here somewhere.......

You guys are going to have to speak up with LARGE TYPE!. I am fifty feet underground in a lead lined bunker and my two foot thick steel door is closed. Hell, I don't even think Wall Street can reach me here!

You say something bad is going to happen? It will wait until tomorrow won't it?

Besides, if I pay attention to what your saying it might interrupt my reloading. Now was that 55 grains for my 45 or 155?

Honey, hand me another freeze dried ham sandwich, would you?

"In the last 24 hours, something has happened to the spacecraft," said NASA orbital debris scientist Mark Matney.

Orbital debris scientist Is this really this guys title

That's just a fancy title for "Outer Space Garbage Collector". Bet that job has a lot of time off.
