The odds sound long, but its still over 12X more likely than me winning the lottery /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

If it is going to hit, that'll be some party before it does!

Wait a second, I thought we were all going to die when the Mayan calendar ended in 2012. Very interesting though.

Another excuse to buy more "emergency" flashlights! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

2012 + tax = 2014. i guess the two things in life that are certain *are* intertwined, eh?

If it does hit we'll need a lot more than lights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is another great reason for the fed to spend more money. This (I think) was predicted in a book from the 50s. Anyone know the name?

Re: WE\'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

I heard about this asteroid on a teaser for the 10:00pm news. I'm sure I'll hear more about it then.

Maybe I'll start getting more sleep in preparation for all the partying we'll be doing.

Comet Swift-Tuttle is sceduled to miss Earth by 15 days in 2126. This information comes from the "Sources and Acknowledgments" chapter of the novel "The Hammer of God" by Arthur C. Clark. A story about a near (60km) miss with a meteor.

Jeez. I'm staying inside that day.

That last pass across the sky BEFORE the impact will sure be something spectacluar, huh?

Re: WE\'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

OK, I have a possible solution. Did you all know that light can and does exert pressure?

Yep it does.

So, what we all do is find the direction of this asteriod and get every Flashaholic worldwide to turn on and aim their flashlights in it's direction. The photon pressure should be enough to move this thing away.

Well maybe,

Re: WE\'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Let's see....2014....note to self....clear calender....and DUCK!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif Seriously now, the astronomers will have to track it for a while to more accurately determine its trajectory. But until then, just remember "One big rock can ruin your whole day". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

Great book - /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif I've read it a half a dozen times since it was published back in 1977. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
