Okay. So all you girls know of asteroids impacts wiping out 90% of life on earth every 60 million years or so.
But I like this one better. Gamma ray bursts are powerful short lived (fractions or tens of seconds) radiation pulses coming from outerspace.
They are so powerful that even one occuring several light years away would sterilize the side of the earth facing it. By sterilize I don't been zap your gonads I mean kill.
So if half the earth facing it is the Pacific Ocean or the South Pole those people would die. It could be North America. South America. It could be Europe or Asia.
It would happen without any warning what so ever.
QM Quality does not occur by chance. It is the result of intelligent activities.

Don't worry, the US researchers are on it... They are just finishing tests on a France-only gamma filter to protect the rest of us. It will throw the universe a bone, and give us all a chuckle as well.
I understand you can avoid asteroids by not sitting on cold, hard surfaces.

Don't worry about gamma rays...the US will develop a preventative technology, and the ROW (rest of the world) will lobby to keep it from being deployed as environmentally unfriendly.
The risk of kicking butt is you get some crap on your shoe

Okay, okay...so I propose a France and United Nations gamma pass-thru filter to keep the ROW in its place. Plus, we tear down those ugly buildings and free up some east side of Manhattan real estate. I just adore a penthouse view!

And within the next 30 to 40 years the U.S. will have over 300 million people. I think that the world has to start planning for a population reduction before things get out of hand. The gamma ray bursts sound like a good start.
And who do you have in mind?

Fear not death for it will happen to us all. An Asteroid or gamma-ray burst is better than some other ways we can die. So live for today for tomorrow may never come.

Here here for gamma ray death.I want the line of radiation to begin just a wee bit above Alabammy and encompass everything south of that line--except dogs can live, and hot chics too.

What the goverment won't tell us is the percentage of us that will recieve god like superpowers resulting from the gamma radiation, I wouldn't mind being green and throwing some buses around if you ask me

Sorry dre - all the nomenclature I've read points to breast enlargement in men only when exposed to Gamma radiation - quick put a rainbow on your bumper

But that would take out all the cigar production.

Gamma rays occupy the spectrum below x-rays in the 10E-12m wavelength. Building a house with solid lead walls several feet thick might keep them out. Short of that I have no suggestions for how to stop cosmic bombardment by electromagnetic radation. I would still welcome this over an asteroid any day of the week. Seems less painfull potentially. Wow, another eye opener. This place is great.
Okay, It took two days, but the fall-out shelter/lead-and-concrete humidor is now lined with Spanish cedar, seasoned, and ready to receive your shipments for safe-keeping. The watchman's lounge...er, quarters and gun room is staffed and ready to protect your loved ones. Send your CC's and NC's to me and I'll take good care of them for you. Then, when the gamma-ray burst is done, you get them all back...I swear!
Hm-m-m-m - A nice Lusitania with some MRE's! Sounds like 'un naturale'.
