On April 19th, 2011, at 8:11PM, Skynet, the massive artificial intelligence network created by Cyberdyne Systems, gained self-awareness. In a panic, engineers tried to pull the plug, but Skynet fought back, triggering an apocalyptic war between humans and robots who look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I completely lacked even the underpinnings of the ability to do so, but had always wanted to author some global computer virus that would sweep the world on 08/29/97 and simply announce "SkyNet has gained self-awareness" . . .

Now why did you want to ruin the world on my birthday? I have enough problems with hurricanes around that time.

An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will come closer to Earth than our own moon does, causing scientist to hold their breath as it zooms by. But they'll be nervous with excitement, not with worry about a possible disaster. There's no danger of an impact when the asteroid 2005 YU55 makes its close flyby Nov. 8, coming within 201,700 miles (325,000 kilometers) of Earth, scientists say... (FAMOUS LAST WORDS!!)
