    Maybe in 5 billion years, about the same time that my replacement birth certificate application is due to be processed.

    Five billion years? This news therefore means nothing to me.

    This has been theorised for quite a long time, that at some point in the far future there is likely to be a collision between planets and one will be ejected from the solar system.

    Well, I know I'm not willing to take a chance that this could happen. There is only one course of action: We must strike first and destroy Mercury now before it has the chance to destroy us!

    i'd be curious if the loss of Mercury's gravity in the system wouldn't just cause some other planet to collide into us..... YOU KILLED US ALL!!!

    Pretending the science is right (and I don't buy it for a moment), the same science also tells us that in 1 billion years the sun will be too hot for liquid water to form on Earth's surface, and in 5 billion years Earth will be swallowed up by the sun as it expands into a red giant. Being closer to the sun, Mercury will go long before Earth, so really, who cares?|

    According to the Yahoo news report, Venus is said to collide with us in 3.5 billion years.

    Actually, we already ejected a planet on our own.

    You have the perfect avatar for that quote. In fact, I'm going to read all your posts with the mental image of Bones speaking them.

    I suggest we start our prayers to the dark one Unicron to devour Mercury. Also Venus (It's useless) Mars (Pointless) Jupiter (Very fucking useless) Saturn (Just as useless as Jupiter) Uranus (Because it's a funny word) Neptune (For being a dick in Spongebob) and Pluto (Because you're not a planet, you're a DWARF planet. Haha make fun of the midget!)
