A Kavanagh theory on world extinction. Not another big bang theory. Oh no... this one is much more horrendous. It's called the Kaboom of Doom! Quite a dilemma we're in for. LOL Seriously great Minichu.

Heya Lin! the earth has had two major extinction events in prehistory, the first one almost done the job, the second done the dinosaurs, and paved the way for us, next one we may just have the technology to deflect it, if like Tom says some lunatic doesn’t blow us all up first, I only do a kaboom of doom with poetic license! Cheers David

I see the Ukrainians made a big statement this week they actually attacked and crossed the border into Russia, give Putin something to think about, cheers David
