Or as scientists would articulate it, the most probable fate of the Earth is absorption by the Sun in about 7 to 8 billion years, after the star (Sun) has entered its red giant phase and expanded beyond the planet's (Earth's) current orbit. And that's the long game. ...

Prologue - Ken Ken Rocks

Ken Ken Rocks is a zany take on life through the lens of the two world famous Kens: Ken Carson and Ken Masters. Doesn't ring a bell? Ken Carson is Barbie's boy toy, and Ken Masters is the blond version of Ryu in Streetfighter. That's all you need to know to get started .
