So, my husband tells me he heard on the radio this morning about an asteroid that could hit earth in September. The radio people were talking about an article in Maxim. So, I look for more information on it. Apparently, the article is on page 62. However, on page 12 is the Editor's note in which they explain that it is the April issue and they are just joking around.

So, when someone tells you that we are doomed, laugh at them and tell them they should actually read the words and not just the pretty pictures/headlines. And if you hear them talking about it on the radio, call them up and tell them they are fools. I'm all for jokes, but the sheer stupidity of passing along bad information just annoys me.

Now, onto the funny part. These people actually discuss this kind of stuff! Man, and I thought we were the nerds of the internet!

Sorry aka. But at least you read the story and didn't freak over the headline! [Big Grin]
