Slow news day.
So, I was reading an article on how NASA is too poor to save us from going out like the dinosaurs...
"These are asteroids that are bigger than 460 feet in diameter - slightly smaller than the Superdome in New Orleans. They are a threat even if they don't hit Earth because if they explode while close enough - an event caused by heating in both the rock and the atmosphere - the devastation from the shockwaves is still immense. The explosion alone could have with the power of 100 million tons of dynamite, enough to devastate an entire state, such as Maryland, they said."
WHY ARE WE THE EXAMPLE STATE? O_o
In other news...
The new arc has been a fascinating study in what happens when you take the sane people out of the Strawhat equation. XD
The "weak" characters (Nami, Usopp, and Chopper) have been separated from the main group, and have spent most of their free time a) running and b) screaming, like most normal people would when confronted with zombies and vampires and invisible perverts. The rest of the crew, when confronted with the same hazards, has steamrollered them with great amusement and absolutely no trouble at all. It's been an interesting look at the power gap between the fighting characters and the non-fighting characters on the crew.
This arc has the potential to showcase the strengths of the supposedly "weak" characters--I have a good feeling that the puzzle in this arc will be solved with brains instead of fists. :D I also feel like Nami, Chopper, and Usopp are being herded in a particular direction for a reason--their experience has run a lot like the path through a haunted house, while Luffy & co. have just been kicking through the walls going "HAY WHUT'S UP LOL." Wonder where each party will end up?
Also: Robin has been hardcore rocking the gothic look this arc. Hot y/y?
