There was some talk here about TU24 earlier. It flew by the Earth last night, and obviously didn't hit. Here's the first confirming story I've seen on it:

^ Who is this mysterious "everybody"? Wow I wasn't aware of that. All I saw was a few posters asking questions because they had no idea what was going on and others making fun of them.

So who is this everybody?

i think maybe two people here thought it would be doomsday.

others thought it was a CIA plot to scare people....



frankly, i didn't care one way or the other.
