1. Do they say anything about how much time we have
In case they somehow manage to screw it up and blow half the moon straight to a collision course with us? I have a few last sins I'd like to commit.

3. Avoid the rush!
Go ahead and embellish those sins. Hell is full of republicans right now and they're not taking democrats until they can make some room. I have it on good authority that St. Peter is a card carrying progressive!

5. ROFL. Thanks for that.

Plus I don't actually believe in Hell so my pancake is a delicious golden brown on both sides. MMM syrup. That was sin number one. I'm supposed to watch my sugar. B-)

8. okay, I can understand being facetious, but ...
I don't think we have enough ability to throw enough mass at the Moon (or nuclear blasts) to do any real damage ...

even with the freeptards who, a few years back, used feet instead of meters on that Mars landing ...

13. I'm pretty aware of that, but the paranoid in me always has that bumbling scientist image in my mind
You know the one that accidentily creates the doomsday plague while looking for a cancer cure or something?
