Perhaps God will have it land on Barack’s cousin, Odinga.
Won't work - better sneeze on it.
That sort of depends on it's composition. More than sort of actually.
How do they know what it is made of. Could be, although it's not likly, a big chunk of nickle-iron. In which case it most like would survive entry. In any event, something 5 meters accross could produce an event comparable to an early atomic bomb.
Whatever ya do...
Don't touch th' meaty-yer!
No problem..
I’m hoping for a big one fragmenting with some good streaks of fire
Shots like the old classic video of the high school football game with that big ball of fire flying by in the background would be a tough one to top, but fingers crossed.

Asteroid Enters Atmosphere, Just As Predicted

MOUNTAIN VIEW — NASA scientists at Ames Research Center in Mountain View say scientists did something Monday night that they’ve never been able to do before. They were able to predict where and when an asteroid would enter the earth’s atmosphere.
The asteroid was about the size of a car and entered the atmosphere over the African country of Sudan going about eight miles a second.
So far there are no reports of damage. It is believed that the space rock burned up before reaching the ground, although small pieces could have made it to the ground.
It will fall on Joe Biden. Problem solved!
