ASTEROID NEAR MISS!!

Paris (AFP) June 20, 2002 - A football-field-sized asteroid capable of razing a major city came within a whisker of hitting the Earth on June 14, but was only spotted three days later, scientists said Thursday It is the closest recorded near-miss by any asteroid, they said.

The object, when questioned, stated, "Hey, I'm just passing by minding my own business, and I get the beatdown from everybody! Why's everyone so pissed off? I show up, and everyone's yelling about the flaming and the impacting and the craters-what's up with all that?!?!"
 
When asked for comment, the Sun replied, "You know, I'm here every day for you people, giving 110%, but I get accused of coasting through the week. But let some guy who puts the ASS in asteroid fly by, you people can't stop talking about it!"
