hehe... paragraph 2:
The asteroid -- the most threatening object ever detected in space -- is 1.2 miles wide and apparently on a direct collision course with Earth.
Yes it appears that the asteroid was seen stumbling home from the bar with two large weapons in his hands. He was reported to have said that "earthlings have it coming." And something about not talking about his mama. Before this the greatest threat detected was a young star on an egocentric rampage... who was threatening to bring back the razor-scooter as a fad for the whole family.
