And I'm really pissed off about it!

I went to this website http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk/ which is one man's philosophy on everything.

It's extremely well written and asks an incredible amount of questions to some of the most prolific questions we face every day.

I stumbled across it trying to find some answers. What a fool I was!

Initially I was interested in his discussion of the universe, where it came from, why it's here, etc. But then I got sucked in to the rest of the site. I have only read about 1/3 of his articles, but it's going to eat up my whole day if I don't stop now!

I found his 'Can we survive the next major asteroid impact?' quite chilling. Particularly this event, which I had never even heard about:

---

At midnight GMT on August 10th 1998, asteroid ML14 crossed the orbit of the Earth at the exact point the latter had occupied only 18 hours earlier. Had ML14 reached that point at 06.00 the previous morning, an area the size of France would have been totally devastated by 06.05. By 08.00 most of the world's vegetation would have been in flames. By late October 30-40% of the human race would be dead or dying. ML14 has a diameter of 2 kilometres.

I'm just off to change my underpants.

If you want to waste some time, this is a really good way to do it. (Going to the website that is, not changing your underwear. Although - for all the good wondering about the universe does for you, changing your pants is a pretty good way to spend some time!)

We don't believe in all that philosophical mumbo-jumbo...not unless it comes with a box of Depends!

Awww. Poor Mark wasted an afternoon getting to play around on his computer while the rest of us spent the day at work.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you?

Yes - Everyone should feel sorry for me!

Mark, I recommend Micheal Talbot's the holographic universe it will answer your universe questions and its a cracking mind bending read.

Cheers Monkey! I dedicate this great and prestigious honour to you hull's greatest living ex pat. A name to rank alongside Wilberforce, Marvel and collier when in the far distant future they write the definitive history of this great metropolis.

Why, thank you.

Better to waste an afternoon than a whole day before realising you f##ked up

That sounds like a Chinese proverb

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

- Bertrand Russell

So I didn't waste it after all.

I feel so relieved.

Maybe I can quote that in my work, and perhaps my boss won't be so pissed off

Just tell him:

"It's ever so much better to be pissed off than pissed on."
- Gnarly Erik

If he's still pissed, just quote from the Bible:

"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath."
- Ephesians IV.26
