OCTOBER 18th - Michael Bay Will Save the World.
On this day in 2013, articles were published around the world about Ukrainian astronomers discovering asteroid 2013 TV135. The asteroid sailed past Earth on September 16th--4.2 million miles away. But it was close enough for the scientists to calculate that there is a 1 in 63,000 chance that asteroid 2013 TV135 will collide with Earth in the year 2032. That’s not an incredibly high chance, (over 99% chance it does not go splat into the world) but it’s still a chance. And it’s a chance based on actual science, instead of Nostradamus or the fact that the Mayan calendar maker got a wee bit lazy after 2012. So it’s a little freaky. Luckily, Michael Bay taught us how to combat it, with the 1998 hit movie Armageddon. Get Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to drill into that bad boy, and we’re all gravy. Because if any movie director is going to save the world, it’s going to be Michael Bay. Boom! Bang! Explosions! This Day has Been Marked.
