[ianvr]

Don't worry folks, this happened a long, long time ago and will most likely happen in the far distant future...

Hi, Ianvr.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, so please forgive me if I've missed something. Have you read any of Victor Clube's works, or any of Laura's very insightful articles? You might come to a very different conclusion.

There's a whole section of articles on the left-hand side of the SOTT page.

Happy reading!

That was sarcasm, I would be willing to bet.

I think ianvr was being facetious. ;)

Yes, it was more of a tongue in the cheek comment...I mean only 170 hits where evidence points to much, much more:

Plus the article says it happened so long ago during the formation of planets so it was inferring that a big one is almost totally unlikely to get us.
