My asteroid defense method

[Tea Earl Grey Hot]

If a large asteroid was heading towards earth, no need to reinact a Michael Bay movie.

It's quite simple. As we all know, shooting stars grant wishes. These things are tiny. Asteroids are huge so the wish granting power of an asteroid must be incredible.

As the asteroid is just about to hit, we would make a cooridinated attempt across the world to wish it away. If this is successful, it should be able to grant the wishes of 6 billion people and start moving away from earth.


I want my funding now.

How could it not work?

It worked with aliens at the end of Earthbound. Flawless.

I see no way that this plan could possibly end badly.

Now, all we need is an asteroid.

I wholeheartedly endorse this plan.

My buddy who moved to Russia told me he made a wish to be struck by a pane of broken glass. Whaddya know, it came true!

No, because now you've said what your wish is it won't come true.
That's just basic science. I mean c'mon get your head in the game.
