Oops - html is fucked up, but the link works.

it's still a 1 in 90,000 chance. Better than winning the lottery but not better than nothing.

We beg for the sweet release of catastrophic destruction.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

that's actually 1 in 900,000 stence. and that's a difference that really means something to me! uh, wait... maybe it doesn't

Cprek that could totally be a birddog lyric!

i'm a little troubled that my initial reaction to this was a disappointed "2014! that's ages from now!"

don't the odds against usually increase like by the day and exponentially after first sighting?
unless of course...

Play a game of rock, paper, scissors. If you win, then roll seven six-sided dice. After that, if ALL DICE produce 1's, then the chance of this asteroid hitting the earth is slightly worse. Again, they will (")gather data(") and find out more.

Wasn't there another asteroid that was due to hit in 2019 or so? I think that one was found to pose no threat. I expect the same will happen with this one.

I don't know about usually, though I imagine yes, but in this case it has been stated to be yes.

DB, remember I have stoneskin cast on myself before you start rolling those dice.

20 MILLION HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMBS???!?!!!

It's only a one on the Torino scale!

Still that made my hair stand straight up.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Still, notice how the media downplay the danger: no one will believe til a giant ball of rock and fire appear in the sky, one night

If knew that the world was going to end in 2014 then I think I would be a lot happier.
