wrong

it will be about 5 times out further than the moon. Or 6 actual moon distances from earth.

did you mean to say earth diameters? As the earth is 30 diameters from the moon at it's mean orbit. either way, it will be 180 diameters away.

for distances.

nope instead of one BIG arsed space rock you get a bunch of smaller ones raining down over a larger area killing about the same amount of people.

The Mayan calendar ends in 2012 so the world ends then.

At least that's what Art Bell said last time I couldn't sleep...

The Bible Code said the beginning of the end is 2006/2007. The end is the same as the Mayan Calender.

At 3 O'clock in the morning, it was better than everything else on TV.
