            Ok, kind of missing the little green furry fella already=(  Anyway, on a lighter note, and completely unrelated. But, if you still want hubs for your website, I have a gardening hub that seems to be doing quite well at the moment. If that could be a theme, you're welcome to it, if you want it, no problem if you don't.

                     Looks good. I've already facebooked and tweeted it (I don't know why, but the tweet count takes awhile to update, let me know if it still hasn't changed by tomorrow).
                     
                     Your awesome hub link will show up in my blog in about 10 min.

   The odds continue to narrow...
   
   "According to the data we currently have, we expect it not to hit over Europe, Africa or Australia," agency spokesman Andreas Schuetz said. "The satellite is still orbiting and we are observing the data for other parts of the world," he added."

    "A defunct satellite hurtled through the atmosphere and into Earth, the German Aerospace Center said early Sunday.
    
    Pieces of the ROSAT scientific research satellite hit between 1:45 and 2:15 UTC (between 9:45 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. EDT Saturday), the agency said."
    
    And then the article appears to contradict itself.

    If it did fall, they apparently still do not know where.
