BEIJING (UPI) -- Chinese scientists say they have a plan to save the Earth from a possible collision with an asteroid that could take place in 2036.

According to the scientists, the plan is to start building small consumer goods for the asteroid, then slowly shift to larger items while acquiring the asteroid's outstanding debt, then begin to make alliances with the asteroid's leaders based on the terms of that debt until finally the whole thing just dissolves before impact. Experts say they fell asleep before the end because the plan wasn't as flashy as Armageddon.

Now that's good humor, and sleep related, too!

First a quake.

Now a hurricane.

If I hear about an asteroid headed this way, I'm gonna suspect NotMuffy has something to do with it.

Or, you can believe the Mayan calendar -- the world will end on 12/12/12 because that's when the calendar stops.

I like your version of the end much better!

12/12/12 was the last page done when the poor scribe/stone-cutter was laid off, died, hurt his hand, or got a chip in his eye.

The actual meteor is projected to make a very close pass: flying under some of our satellites.

I can think of at least one CPAP member who'll be sitting on her roof with a pair of binoculars and a bag of buttered popcorn.

He was laid off, and the job was supposed to be outsourced to India, but they heard China may become cheaper at a later date. By 12/12/12 China will be able to do it even cheaper as they will own most of the U.S. and will be closer than India. They won't be able to do it in Mexico, as most of their people will be in the US teaching Spanish or Spanglish, in the US or drawing welfare. Jim
