		<description><![CDATA[A Planetoid following a yet to be calculated orbit and comprised of at least six variations of cheese has been detected on a collision course with earth. There is a 7% chance of collision with Earth, various space agencies and nuclear super powers are pooling resources to minimise the threat, but world leaders compelled to combat Global Warming  are reticent to act.

But for all parties concerned, how do you value earth during a credit crunch, and what's the bonus for doing so?]]></description>
