You wouldn't happen to have an ETA on the 'BIG rock', would ya? I've got a few 'unfulfilled fantasies' I would like to explore......

[Jim Burnes]

News says pretty soon, you can go ahead and eat desert first

But do it quickly.

[Evnings]

I can name a few people who's head I hope it lands on.

CNN. 30 years. MIGHT hit us. It's like a 1/1,000,000,000 chance. And apparently we can slow or speed it up by enough early in advance that it'll miss us completely.

[Jim Burnes]

CNN, 17 years. 1.2 miles diameter. will hit us. Woe unto us.

[shooter1201]

17-30 years? No way is that enough time.......

[Blonde Heat]

Sorta like we will be visited by aliens when we become receptive and do not show aggresion towards them according to some quack on the radio yesterday. I listened just for the laughs and the cukoo sounds the radio host was playing in the backround.

I wonder why they pay these fools to predict things. And who actually believes them.

[Jim Burnes]

In this case, it's true. Folks even know it will hit us on 1 Feb 2019, and the speed of impact, etc.

What they don't say is, which landmass will be dead center. That land will be wiped clean.

Not that it matters, because the force of the blow will create darkness over the survivors.

Go to CNN and read the news item.

My grandkids will be in their very early 20s.

30 years would be great Then I don't have to worry about retiring from the supermarket business! I can actually die there instead

[Delta_V]

Jim, nobodys is saying that it WILL hit us. In fact, all of the articles I have read on it state that there is an extremely small chance that it will impact earth.

Astronomers are saying the odds of it hitting Earth are anywhere from a million to one, to six million to one.
