Mystery Impact Leaves Earth-Sized Mark on Jupiter.

WELL.

THAT'S NOT TERRIFYING AT ALL.

Something crashed into Jupiter and left a mark the size of OUR PLANET but nobody noticed till it had happened. Worrying about global warming and overpopulation and the unemployment figures totally wasn't already giving me an ulcer, now I have to worry that things the size of Earth are out there getting ready to crash into Earth.

I know it's statistically unlikely and all that jazz, but I'm telling you now: If that was caused by alien laser beams of any kind, when the aliens get to Earth I suggest we shoot first and do autopsies later.

GOOGLE'S TITLE GRAPHIC TODAY IS NOT HELPING BTW.

TODAY WAS A DAY OF OVERSTIMULATION. *twitch*

Every single minute of the day I was working on something and Mum needed me to call her and BossBoss gave me like eight new things to do and PT was INTENSE and then I caught the El home and there was a Cubs game so it was packed and my kitchen needs cleaning AGAIN and and and and.

*deep breath*

Also someone explained to me that collecting giant space debris which would otherwise collide with the Earth is kind of why Jupiter was invented. Which eventually led to parhelion-on-dreamwidth linking me to the THANK YOU JUPITER cake. I'm pleased that some thoughtful person is making Jupiter feel loved.

I've always been more or less neutral towards the gas giants, but my estimation of them is definitely raised. Nice to see a celestial body taking one for the team.

I thought today about writing a Torchwood Chicago redux of Children of Earth but ( spoilers )
