Today's Washington Post reports that an asteroid has been found orbiting the
Sun at a distance of about 20 million miles from Earth (closest point).  It
apparently contains 10000 tons of gold and 100000 tons of platinum, as well
as 10 billion tons of iron and 1 billion tons of nickel.  Its estimated
worth was put at around 1 trillion dollars.

Lets haul it in and make gold power lines out of it.  :^)
