Here's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bullsh__, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss.
[WHAM! CRUNCH!]
"Look, they nearly missed!"
"Yes, but not quite.

First of all, the asteroid will hit before the check gets there.
Second, you’re not going to need the money.

Its going to pass 191,000 kilometers from earth?Should've used miles for shock effect: that would make it 120,000 miles...zoweee!
However, it seems to me that if a freaking planet was headed towards us, any star gazer would have let us know about it weeks ago. As one who likes to view the space station via iss.astroviewer.net, I can confidently say I have seen no new astral objects hurtling our way.

I read a couple of my Cousin Mike’s dirty books when I was a teenager.
Did this Heinlein also write The Curvaceous Candy Striper?
That was a good one.
Most of the mistresses in those books were too busy, well, doing the nasty dance to be launching rocks at earth.

Geez, you could have given a few days’ warning. I wouldn’t have vacuumed or cleaned the kitchen. Bring on the chocolate!

Before we could detect these tiny asteroids, they were whizzing past us unseen. But now we have a very clear idea of how inconsequential these formerly unknown events actually were.
I suppose it was worth spending the billion dollars, just in case a big one comes along, then we will have a couple of days warning and we can go nuts.

Maybe if it’s gonna look like a second moon they’re downplaying and it’s AirBus and not street-sized.

It’s still small enough that it would likely break up in the atmosphere.
To: Red Badger
Doomsayers believe a huge alien world called Nibiru or Planet X is hurtling through space towards us and will hit tomorrow. Huh? I thought Nibiru was gonna whack us in September.
