Well, Crap!

How do I prep for this one? I don't even know if the damned thing will hit where I'm at. And if it did hit, it's game over. Blasted Russians and their math. At least I've go till April 13, 2029, of course I'll be a real geezer by then and unlikely to make it anyway. At least I've got that going for me.

.50BMG ought to knock it off course a hair.

WTF? I thought we were going to be destroyed by an asteroid in 2012. Specifically December of 2012. Don't go changing doomsday on me, I cant handle change.

I thought Indiana was going to be under 2000 feet of ice by 2039?

With the decline of Global Warming we have to have another EOTWAWKI event coming to spend billions of dollars and mounds of government regulations (and taxes) trying to avert

OK I can usually get enough context clues to make sense out of most of the unknown accronyms in these forums but wth is EOTWAWKI! lmao I'm at end of the world ...........

EOTWAWKI= End of the world as we know it.

1 chance in 250,000? Highly improbable.

Hmmm Friday the 13th... seems superstitious to mean... those dang superstitious Ruskies...


BTW, the article says that there is a small chance that in 2029 it will pass through a gravitational keyhole when is passes near earth. The effects from said event could put it on a collission course with earth when it passes in 2036.

So what they're saying is that there is a slim chance that the earths gravity could unpredictably effect it so they're "predicting" that it could possibly hit earth the next time around.

What they really meant to say is that they don't know squat but there is always a chance something bad could happen.

IMHO, they just wanted their chance in the spotlight and didn't know how else to do it. Why not say "we're all gonna die" and provide "proof" that you can't even prove yourself but nobody else can disprove? Perfect...

EXACTLY! We have nothing to fear as long as Steve Buschemi is still around by then... He can stop any asteroid with his ugly...

They say that this has happened at least 6 times in the earth's history, causing mass extinctions, and uninhabitable conditions of the earth's surface.
