Silly buggers, that is an actual snow man.

Earth has found a frozen 22 mile lump of ice , carry on

What a waste of money and time

Oh that, it flew over Caterham a couple of nights ago!

Didn't they call it a 'world' a few days ago? That looks like a space bugar.

Why, out of the millions of other 'things' in the same belt, has Ultima Thule been chosen ? What makes it so special? Great event.

That’s one small step for snowman....one giant leap for snowmankind....

Is it going to collide with earth? If the answer is yes then I’m interested. If the answer is maybe? Then let me know nearer the time if I’m still alive.

2 rocks smouldered together

Please hit Anfield before May
