    Yeah but back in 2006 when asked where he'd put the chance of a global recession within the next 10 years, Dimon said "about the same as Pluto leaving our solar system"

    Will the moon crash into the earth? there is little evidence. if it is so then there will be warnings such as large tsunamis and tidal waves due to the moons gravity pulling the waves around.
    well I watched this show (I believe in God) but it said when the universe was made earth was cooling off gas and part of earth while it was gas broke away to become our moon and astronauts put mirrors on the moon and it seems it is moving away from earth about 2 inches every year and I may not have understood this next part as much but I think they said it was going to go away so far it will come back and hit earth but my theory is if earth is more than zillion years old then wouldn't the moon have hit the earth all ready?

    The moon is constantly moving further away from the earth. this is a result of the moons rotation around the earth ant the effect that the moons gravity has on the earths oceans. the earth's oceans as a result of the tides put a force out into space that is constantly pushing at the moon forcing it further and further away from us.

    You're fucking retarded.

    The exception being the earth hitting the moon.

    So, NOT fucking possible, UNLESS the Earth is hit by the Moon.

    Wow. Wow. Retards.

    I believe if the moon were to hit the earth, the loss would be manageable.
