Huh. I could write a funny book about that. Would you buy it? "How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Supernova...Because You're Fucked Anyway?

I've been proofreading disaster proposals (earthquakes and tsunamis) this week, so I'm actually kind of hopeful and in awe of my scientists. Tsunami alert systems. Excellent.
