An asteroid similar in size to an object that exploded above Siberia in 1908 with the force of 1,000 Second World War-era atomic bombs sped past the Earth on Monday, astronomers said Tuesday.

    Don't worry, with the distance at which most of these rocks are spotted, we'll only have an hour warning or so.

    Are you sure it's the bugs? I heard the commies want to rob us of our precious bodily fluids.

    NOT AGAIN. Twice this week I've had to get the skate laces out and strap on the aluminium pie plate.

    I certainly hope you are not trying to make an anti-semitic remark, racism is not tolerated here, to continue to make remarks such as those will see you taking a little holiday.

    The word is it was an asteroid, 2009 ND DD45, estimated at 21 to 47 metres across.

    I think he was being sarcastic. Everything seems to be being blamed on the Jews and Israelis nowadays, by every half wit, mouth-breathing, frother, so why not this too?

    On that note, is calling for the destruction of Israel considered anti semitism, and grounds for banning, by the powers that be?
