Dammit, I'm in worry overload. Astroids and comets, disappearing ozone, black holes, superstorms, earthquakes, polar flipping, etc. per the History Channel. And I have to add this all on top of the general election, teabaggers, and freakin' hatemongers and peddlers of lies.

Enough is enough!

1. Wait, the History Channel?
Shouldn't we be more worried about Hitler's haunted UFOs?

4. Stop Worrying About Premature Coronal Mass Ejection. Ask Your Doctor About CoronaBloc...
It desensitizes... for long lasting protection against the dread and embarrassment of premature coronal ejection, and a longer, more satisfying cosmic experience.

8. Perhaps we should ask Christine Whatsherface if such ejections are
sinful.

9. Don't forget these.


The average life cycle for a male house dust mite is 10 to 19 days. A mated female house dust mite can live for 70 days, laying 60 to 100 eggs in the last 5 weeks of her life. In a 10 week life span, a house dust mite will produce approximately 2000 fecal particles and an even larger number of partially digested enzyme-covered dust particles.

16. Betelgeuse is an incipient supernova
We are lucky that the rotational axis of Betelgeuse does not align with the Earth, if it did there is a strong possibility that when Betelgeuse explodes we would get blasted with very high energy gamma rays strong enough to damage our ecosystem.
