ASTEROID STRIKE SIMULATION STARTS TODAY - NASA - Spigot 4/29/19
NASA will try to find out what to do, if we knew an asteroid would hit,
When they run a simulation, starting today, on how we’ll react and handle it.
Conspiracy theorists may be prone to say, it’s not a test, and one is on the way,
And possibly it may even be true, as the simulated rock strikes 8 years from today.
The simulation predicts a 1 percent chance that it will hit earth, but that isn’t much.
If real, the chances are higher it seems, with many disastrous extinctions and such.
A columnist discovering that she was spending, too much time with her phone,
Decided to use her personal story - with her snazzy phone, she was never alone.
She brings up stats that say 2 hours, is the average time most spend phone viewing,
But she was spending twice that, while sometimes forgetting her coffee was brewing.
Some like to tap or unlock their screen; that gives enjoyment, researchers declare.
If you are wrecked, you’ll overdo also, so pre-medicating may help you out there.
No precedent for “no confidence” voting existed, but now it certainly does
For Bayer, the company that bought Monsanto, in the stupidest deal there ever was.
They knew of the trials Monsanto faced, for Roundup that courts now say causes
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in folks that use it, and enjoyment of life for them pauses.
They must have figured on judges that suck, that favor the wealthy corporate elitists,
Insuring Monsanto’s legacy; their income and cancer for those labeled defeatists.
An article uses Prince Phillip “gaffes,” in reminding readers of an ‘86 trip
That he and the Queen made to China, but they don’t reveal the most ruinous quip.
It seems they’re okay spreading some “news,” while excluding the words they scorn.
You’d think the words they are hiding from us, must be offensive, disgusting porn.
They write that it was very bad – it imperiled a trade deal with the Communist state,
Implying that, trade’s so important, criticisms of Communists are now acts of hate.
