Get me off this damned Globe - UPDATE!

Well, after having quite a scare of it the other day, as the odds dropped all the way down to 1 in 37 chance of being hit... The newest calculations have us at a 99.9962% chance of being MISSED by the asteroid. That's right folks, unless we are truly unlucky, statistically speaking, we will see the dawn of 2030 and more. Of course, they haven't said how close it is going to miss us by and if that will cause adverse effects. ::shrugs:: Would it be better to be missed but to have such cataclysmic meteorological and seismic effects that we are screwed anyway? What do you think?


I'm glad I'll be mostly off the grid by then and living as efficiently as possible. (At least that is the plan.)

It's not big enough to have any effect unless it grazes the atmosphere, and they would have counted that as a "hit."
