Bad 2011 Start


Are you one of those folks who like to stargaze? When I was younger, I very much enjoyed astronomy and would get to the planetarium as often as I could. That may be one reason I enjoy science fiction so much.

Well, thanks to NASA, you can now "save the dates" and catch the best meteor showers of 2011. (Scroll down to the "Quadrantids" to find the 2011 dates.)

SIGNS YOUR 2011 ISN'T OFF TO A GOOD START

You've already gained 40 pounds.

Your midnight New Year's Eve smooch was through the bars of your local jail.

Your car is stuck under two feet of snow ... and three feet of garbage.

It's year eleven of living in that Y2K bunker.

2011 is both the year and your cholesterol level.
