Satellite crash: How rational is my fear?
January 28, 2008 at 2:04 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in Randomly NotedI keep reading that an old American spy satellite is going to crash to Earth soon.
Unlike a lot of the stuff the media have told me over the years I’m supposed to be afraid of (radon, Y2K, apples with razor blades, strangers offering me rides to the hospital to see my injured parents, tuna, Jamaican drug posses, anti-depressants, iced tea, Ice-T, cell phones, stuffed koala bears) I’m actually kind of nervous about this satellite.
What if I’m walking the dogs and, SMACK, a chunk of sizzling-hot spy satellite crushes me? Stranger things have happened.
How are the dogs going to get home? And if they get home, how are they going to open the garage door? They don’t know the code. Even if they did know the code, they can’t reach the keypad.

Are you old enough to remember Skylab? I lived in constant fear of being crushed by that thing.

I remember Skylab. It killed my sister.

Good thing I’m not Muslim.

But I saw you wearing that “Go Montgomery County Madrassa Tigers!” t-shirt the other day. Next you’ll tell me Barak (sic) Hussein Obama isn’t a jihadist. You’re the craziest muslim woman ever.
