I just told my wife the news, and she asked me if she needed to pack anything.

WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!! Some of us sooner than others, but all of us, definitely before this asteroid gets here.

[RightWhale]

another 878 years.

At the rate the govenment works, every one of those 878 years will be needed just to write the EIS - the Environmental Impact Study. Uh-oh, EIS has the I-word in it. Bad juju, Bwana.

878 years from now the asteroid won't exist ... we'll have mined it.

[My Favorite Headache]

Have a look at the year 2012 and talk to me about the asteroid that is due to come near us then.

The asteroid, more than half a mile in diameter, is similar in size to the one thought to have plunged into the sea off Mexico 65m years ago, depriving the earth of light and wiping out the dinosaurs.

Thank heaven there are no more dinosaurs to wipe out, I was really getting worried there for a moment:O(

The asteroid, more than half a mile in diameter, is similar in size to the one thought to have plunged into the sea off Mexico 65m years ago, depriving the earth of light and wiping out the dinosaurs.

The rock that got the Dinosaurs was about 10km (6 miles) in diameter. Half a mile won't get the job done.
