What would happen if a Giant ate Earth?

DrumSteve · 2013-10-10 11:43:19

Imagine looking up one day and seeing a giant mouth about to ate the place. It'd be mental. Would they catch diseases from the radiation? What would happen if they ate someone with Aids? Would they catch it? This stuff keeps me awake at night.

They'd probably send an email to boards.ie complaining they caught food poisoning

Hopefully Silver Surfer would betray Galactus and team up with the Fantastic Four to stop him.

none of you seem to understand the gravity of the situation

since the giant would have to be bigger and heavier than the earth we'd get sucked off into space

also ingesting something with an average temperature of 5,000 degrees is bound to give you heartburn

There is a giant that eats planets but he hasn't gotten around to eating Earth yet. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron

Incorrect. The melting point of asbestos is 1500C.
