Keep an eye out for updates on his site . Hopefully see something new soon! via The [...]

So please NASA get on the phone and get Billy Bob and The Affleck on standby. Would there be any way to survive this? What if it was a tiny asteroid, because the one in the video looks ginormous. Or would I have to throw on some Pink Floyd and let the cool cosmic vapors wash over me and turn me into Pompei 2.0? [ via ]
