Remember when Armageddon was criticized by fanboys and wannabe scientist for it’s over-the-top inaccuracies?

Meet Mary D’Souza from the University of Quuensland School of Engineering.

She is a PH.D student from Australia who won an international prize for her ingeniuos plan to prevent an asteroid from hitting Planet Earth.

Her solution: cover Apophis—a small planet that’s expected to pass close to Earth—in a Mylar sheet.

Just in case you forgot, one of the scientists in Armageddon suggest using Mylar to possibly have solar radiation push the asteroid of it’s path.

“Some of us have got this idea: We want to land a craft, deploy solar sails. You’ll have a great big canopy. Solar winds will be caught by these mylar sails!”

Who knew.

Here’s a snippet from an article on Michael Bay featured in Haute Living magazine.

He is only in Miami for one week, so his dogs-bullmastiffs named for characters in his films-are not with him this trip. The pampered dogs generally travel everywhere with the star director, and even have their own chauffeur to take them from Bay’s Los Angeles home to his office, but given the short duration of this trip, they wait faithfully for him in L.A. But he explains that they generally love his house on shining Miami waterways and do their best to defend it. The dogs (larger than life, just like the action in his films) take full advantage of the secluded backyard, which borders Biscayne Bay. “If someone comes cruising up to the house on their boat or Jet Ski or whatever, they go bounding over to the water, big barks, big commotion!” Bay laughs. It’s a scene straight from a movie. Picture it: Hogan fans, not aware that the fallen family has moved from their infamous Miami Beach home, rent some Jet Skis and try to glide up to catch a glimpse of the spandex-clad Hulkster. Two dogs, weighing in at 150 pounds, emerge from behind the cabana, barking, snarling, effectively scaring the would-be snoopers away with a start.
