    They obviously stop the simulation after the year 2200, because they know that's when we (ok, not we...our grandchildren) all get killed by the asteroid.

    It realizes it got too close to us, stops, apologizes, and flies away.

    Monk is an awesome show though. I watch TV for two reasons: Law & Order and Monk sometimes too. I love cop shows. I get to watch people get arrested in the comfort of my own home.

    That reminds me of one of my favorite running bits, which based on this:
    There's a famous joke about a New York Times headline: "World to End Friday; Women, Minorities Hardest Hit."

    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    You are the chosen one

    It is written in the book of necropolis that "the bob one" will arise from the ashes of a fallen civilization and lead his people into new age of peace and understanding, where all men shall prosper and live without fear or tyranny and evil

    so what do you say bob are you up to it
