[Habbaku]

Poor Jupiterians. 

Jovians 

I don't think that Jupiterians are going to be that happy about this, no.

I find your approach disturbingly saturnine

You think Saturn had anything to do with this? I thought that was a peacefull god.

Scary stuff. As the article says, one asteroid hit left a Pacific Ocean sized area on Jupiter.

Why so scary?  This is Jupiter performing its function.

Scary that it could happen to Earth.

Because one day it might not be there, and the Muslim Brotherhood will be calling the shots.

Pretty unlikely.  Jupiter's gigantic gravity well works to protect you.

I can't put all my faith in Jupiter.

Any loss of life?

How can a bruise or area be left on a planet made out of gas?

Yeah, Jupiter has swept up a lot of the primordial space junk and helped make the Earth a safe place 

Having a big gas giant in roughly that position may even be a prerequisite for complex life to arise on an inner planet........at least at an early date

They actually refer to their planet as "Zeus".

Maybe it's like the effect of a stink bomb.

This will disturb the gravity patterns in the Solar system and ultimately usher in the cataclysms prophecied for 2012.
