I hope someone programs this into SkyNet since humanity won't be running the planet in 2029!

Those odds are not looking very good...
I prefer the odds i play with when i go skydiving. I read its one in 115,000 chance of going splat.

I would have turned 44 just 4 days prior to this asteroid making its close pass, but those 2nd and 3rd Trumpets in Revelation are rather disheartening when thinking about the possibility of this or any other NEO striking the Earth.

I am glad it will not cause destruction of global scale. However, if it did hit Earth, it would most likely fall into the ocean and create tsunami of biblical proportion.

Wonder what the uncertainty is on size....1/4 mile diameter, +/- 1/4 mile? Be nice to know possible projected impact regions soon.....Terhan??
So....what is Bush doin' 'bout this and when did he find out about it, hmmmm!?

I guess since the global warming thing has been pretty thoroughly debunked, the catastrophists need a new living.

Personally, if it has to hit I hope it hits either Tehran or Beijing.
