I just watched Jay Leno and he had someone by the name of Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, a nerd with credentials...
see
http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/appearances but SERIOUSLY, if you saw this, you heard that he said something about an asteroid heading our way the size of the Rose Bowl and it will hit California.
I don't know how big is the Rose Bowl, but it doesn't sound good to me.
Is he just joking and getting back at all the jocks?
