There's an asteroid flying by Earth soon

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the Falkland Islands are to hold a referendum on their "political status" - hoping to bring an end to the continuing dispute with Argentina over the islands' sovereignty, their government said on Tuesday. Britain and Argentina went to war over the South Atlantic islands in 1982, and 30 years later, tensions have now escalated between the two nations. Cristina Fernandez, Argentina's president, has asserted her country's claims to the islands - known in Spanish as Las Malvinas – and has asked for negotiations with Britain to end their “colonial” control from London. But this is an issue better left to the people of the Falkland Islands to decide, and I hope they choose the option they feel is best for them. In other news, Egypt's deposed dictator Hosni Mubarak was in a coma on Monday, eight days after having been sent to prison to start a life sentence. Mubarak, who is incarcerated at Torah prison hospital, had been on a respirator since Sunday and on a machine to regulate his heartbeat. Doctors had to use a defibrillator twice on 84-year-old Mubarak, but they did not say whether Mubarak's heart had stopped or whether he suffered from irregular heartbeats. But they said that Mubarak has slipped in and out of consciousness three times so far on Monday. He was also reported to be slipping in and out of consciousness on Sunday. But at least that corrupt scumbag is now behind bars where his evil behind belongs.
