1 in 909,000 my ass! Let’s see them say that when I bring my super-gravitational hyperbeam attractor into effect!
No, no. A 1920’s style Death Ray is obviously needed.
But wouldn’t the death ray destroy the object? I think The Man With The Golden Gun wants to pull it in to even up the odds.
I also read that news item this morning. It really shook me up however the tin foil hat I am now wearing has allowed me to collect my thoughts. Soon after, I read that the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma, in the Canary Islands just off the West Coast of Africa is all set to wipe millions of Atlantic coast dwellers clean off the map with a tsunami of “biblical proportions”. Luckily for me, I can still sleep at night since I happen to live in Utah. The third item which I read in the pursuit of my daily “bad news” hit a little closer to home, Yellowstone Is A Super Volcano Overdue For Eruption.
You have hit the nail right on the head! We ARE all gonna die. Shit! This really sucks. When I was a child I read an article in Popular Mechanics which described how Cryogenics would preserve us until the effect of aging could be reversed by science. Based on their accuracy of projections so far, I think we might be in trouble.
One thing helps me to feel a little better about all this impending doom. I, with my tinfoil hat, will be able to survive slightly longer than you, who no likely doubts the substantial powers of preservation given by such a headpiece.
You put in reverse of course.
Look you all watch the Simpsons, you know wel be OK. Remember what Homer said?
Let’s just hope none of this happens before our sun goes into it’s red giant mode.
I should keep up, I always thought it was Whoopee, we’re all gonna die. 
What about the Ozone! Oh rapture and armageddon think about the Ozone!
What if the asterroid hits the earth before the Rapture comes?

That would be what you call Ironic

OMG! A “NEO”
(Near Earth Object??) This is my first brush with this term.

Well then you’ll love all those PHAs. Potentially Hazardous Asteroids.
Sorry TMWTGG,
The odds just got longer… 1 in 2,222,000.
“What Homer said.” LOL!!!
One After 909! Were The Beatles really Nostradamus?
eeeks. I hope our planet doesn’t destroy this cute little asteroid when we rudely hit it. That would be a shame.
Mr. Legend showed me this story a couple of hours ago, and we are stoked! Just the other day, we were fretting about how on earth we’re going to be able to put two children through college while still saving an adequate amount for retirement - and now we’re home free! We’ll still have to pony up for the college educations, of course, but we can just get into debt up to our eyeballs and never worry about paying it back.
Ivy league, here we come!
