We're all gonna die.

Via pleonastic:

Erm. An asteroid with almost a 3% chance of hitting Earth? That's pretty scary-sounding. Better hurry and get done everything I need to get done in the next 25 years...

I mean, look at what a 4 on the Torino Scale means! Scary!

EDIT: It's gone, but the screenshot remains.

Dude, you must chill. We've got plenty of time to destroy ourselves well before then...

yeah don't you think that over 22,000 people dying yesterday in Asia is a little scarier...

Well, if this means possible disaster flick fodder, then so be it. What I really want is one set in Philadelphia. For some reason, I'd like to see famous landmarks get destroyed here...I'm sick of New York getting all the mayhem.

But really what I want is a monster movie to be set here. Man oh man would that be sweet.

And no I don't actually want an asteroid to hit the Earth, but if it's going to, Bruce Willis better be for hire.

Wow, that was quick

By the time I clicked on it, it had been reclassified as a maximum of 1 on the Torino scale. 2004 MN4, right?

Yeah. Phew, that's a load off.

Yeah, it's downgraded to 1 in 56,000 odds that MN4 will hit us now. Here's the link (and the Slashdot article). The sheer terror was nice while it lasted.

Wow, it was on Slashdot and I didn't even notice? Huh. Shows how far I've come, I guess.

Though, wait, that first link you just gave me doesn't mean anything. It just describes a particular probability, without relating it to this asteroid. (In other words, watch what I can do: Oh no, we're doomed!) See my original link for the real story.

[shrug, hug] desh, you're wonderful. (and reunion's gonna be awesome. oo, let me double check that there will always be something w/o tomatoes for you at meals. almost forgot. okay...so, the only questionable meal is friday lunch, but there will be plenty of other lunch food as well as leftovers from thursday night which should work for you. i'll keep an eye out. *dink*)
