Read more here....

Even with the chances being 1 in over 900,000.... that still is a chance it could happen!

Let's hope we don't see another headline stating...."Astronomers calculations were incorrect...."

Yeah...and there's a chance Elizabeth Hurley will fall madly in love with me, too, but I bet that doesn't happen ;)

Ah...we'll just send up some Bruce Willis wanna-be and blow it up!

Yea... and there's a chance that I'll come home someday to find an SGI Altix 3000 all decked out with 64 Itanium 2 processors and 4TB of RAM in my living room, too. :p

I'm confused....................

Elizabeth Hurley has a SGI Altix 3000 all decked out with 64 Itanium 2 processors and 4TB of RAM in her living room?

I hope she is on our TeAm :)

More on topic...they say if? it should hit, it would only destroy a continent...so it's not the end of the world ;)

If you can get the orbit (in the right format), you can plug it into Celestia and see how close it will get. :cool:
