The world will end March 21, 2014
Well, not really. But Astronomers have detected a large asteroid, named "2003 QQ47" which could strike the Earth on that date. Of course, the odds are 1 in 909,000!

The aliens who are monitoring the experiment *life-on-Earth* wiped out the dinausors first, and now the Man himself. But what do they want exactly ?!!!

Alas poor Diplo's thread. I knew you well.
