LOL. That was the advise concerning the satellite that is falling back to earth. The eastern US is on the path. Better get your runnin' shoes on.

[Rick]

I merged your thread with one already open.

Yeah, it's scheduled to crash some time on Friday. There's a web site to track it but I've never been able to get in because the servers are too busy. Here's the URL. Maybe some of you will get lucky.

Carp, I'm right in the path.......gotta go...putting pillows on the roof.......Like the old Yahoo ad, in the Australian out back.
Then buy a lottery ticket.....If I'm gonna get lucky, which will it be, LOL, LOL.

[Rick]

I finally got into that tracking web site. It's over the S. Atlantic Ocean at the moment and whizzing right along.

We're gonna get peed on?

[Rick]

Maybe. Unless the poop plops on the prop. Sailing over Burma as we speak.

On curves ahead
Remember, sonny
That rabbit's foot
Didn't save

Altho insured

They don't pay you
They pay
Your widow

I thought I saw the satellite burning across the sky as it fell today. I was wrong. It was my 401k.

A guy
Who drives
A car wide open
Is not thinkin'
He's just hopin'
Burma-Shave

[Rick]

The safest rule
No ifs or buts
Just drive
Like every one else
Is nuts!
Burma-Shave

The ladies
Take one whiff
And purr--
It's no wonder
Men prefer
Burma-Shave Lotion

There ain't no Burma-Shave in that satellite! a lot of titanium though!

[Rick]

I read this morning that the new projections put it outside of the U.S. with re-entry this afternoon or early evening. Subject to change of course.

[crashdive123]

It floats aloft
It falls to the ground
It's titanium but
If you're smart
You won't be around
Burma-Shave

[Rick]

They can project an orbit
from a million miles out
but with this one it's just
somewhere about
Burma Shave - Duck!

According to the FAA: "Aircraft are advised that a potential hazard may occur due to re-entry of satellite UARS into the Earth's atmosphere."

Ya think?
