The universe commemorates Earth Day by trying to destroy Earth

Quote:
SACRAMENTO, CA - Earth Day 2012 started out with a boom Sunday morning when a ground shaking explosion was heard by residents in El Dorado, Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and San Joaquin counties.
Dozens of callers reported seeing a meteor over the Sierra sky at approximately 7:45 a.m.
The explosion rattled windows and shook houses from Reno to Winnemucca in Nevada, and from the Sacramento to Bakersfield areas in California. Some people in the two states reported seeing a fireball streak across the sky at the same time.

Meanwhile this just in, breaking news, FLASH, Steve Martin reporting from Kurobe Gorge Japan where King Ghidorah holds his own against Godzilla, but Rodan lures him away. Crashing into the pursuing King Ghidorah in mid-air, Rodan forces the space monster down on a rocky cliff. Godzilla and Mothra arrive to aid Rodan, Godzilla hurling boulders at Ghidorah.

Too late we are under attack! We must take defensive positions immediately.

I was on the staff of our Earth Day event. It rained all day. It was miserable. It is one thing to continue an event if it starts sprinkling, but the heavy rains and winds we had were terrible!

ole ma nature sure give her opinion on our event.

Did the world end?

If so, blast it, missed it.

Any chance of a repeat?

No, no repeats; but we are working on a replay of WWII with the original cast...
