I too have lost three cousins in 2004. The first one died of stroke, the second died in a fire in his own home, and the third had tuberculosis and met her death. And I'm sorry for your deaths as well. This world just isn't enough for us. We need more talented people and lots of cures and remedies to stop pain in ourselves.
I remember I was close to dying, when I got hit by a car, but thankfully I came back but had a broken leg that had surgery done on it.
I sure hope that 2005 will be a great beginning for all. -

This a long way from Jerry Orbach, but at any rate, dinosaurs were wiped out in the aftermath of a rock a few miles across smashing into the earth, not by gradual extinction. Happens about once every million years, since you ask. It'll be quite a show ne2000xt time. My advice'd be to get under it, because it'd be better to be one of the billion or so people who'll die right off the bat than to be left among those scrounging in the dark. The dust that rose into the atmosphere after the impact that killed the dinosaurs probably blotted out the sun for about two years, so it'll be chilly and there won't be a whole lot to eat. I'm thinking the survivors will start killing each other in fairly short order.
On the plus side, you probably won't have any warning. If we had a year or more to prepare, there's a slight chance we could do something about it, but not much. Problem is, the thing'll probably be too small to pick up with more than a few days notice, so I'm thinking the government probably won't be telling anybody about it. It'll knock out all communications systems on entering the atmosphere, so don't bother turning on CNN to find out what's happening. The brightest flash of light you've ever seen is probably the only kind of warning you'll get. The initial shock wave will probably move at about twice the speed of sound, so you won't hear it coming. Probably better that way.
There were two big rocks that came within a hundred thousand miles of the Earth last year (that's being-shot-at-and-missed-but-the-bullet-put-a-hole-in-your-hat kind of close ) and we didn't even know about them until they had passed. Oops!
Kinda makes you wonder why you'd spend any time on the internet whinging about dead celebrities, but whatever.
