About asteroids- I've read up a lot on asteroids and near Earth collisions, and you would not believe how many times we've come extremely close to complete and utter obliteration. Most of the time we don't even realize we were barely missed until after it happened.

But it's not definite, because its in 2014, and they will get more data about it.

Lisa: THAT isn't going to protect us from anything!
Homer: Fine, don't use it then.
Lisa: I won't.
Homer: Fine.
Welp, it's 1 in a 90,000 chance it'll hit Earth. Better start lootin'!

I find it so funny in the films when they can only see the thing coming in like a year (Deep Impact), or less than a bloody month (Armageddon).
I think the most pointless of all end-of-the-world related news was when they reported that there's the possibility that an asteroid WILL destroy Earth......
In just less than a million year's time.

But 2010/12/14? We won't be up to the point of Back to the Future part 2 yet!

What would we do if an asteroid was about to hit? Just sit there and die? Sound like a plan!

And if you all want examples of what asteroids can do, look at Mars. Mars used to be a lush planet with running water and an oxygen rich atmosphere, much like Earth. It's now believed that 3 imcomprobably big asteroids, measuring, I believe, 10, 20 and 40 or so kilometeres across, crashed into the southern hemisphere of the planet. It destroyed Mars's atmosphere, evaporated it's water, created Olympus Mons (the solar system's largest volcano) through volcanic activity, created the gigantic canyon (again, the largest in the solar system) through intense stress and created 3 huge bulges on the opposite side of the planet. THAT'S what could happen to Earth.

? Run outside and scream as loud as we can? Throw rocks at the asteriod in an attempt to, stop it? Run around having sex with every person of the opposite sex in sight? Eat pie?Hmmm, i have no idea what i would do...

I'd put my gear on, and ride Epona to the Snowhead, Stone Tower, Woodfall and Great Bay Temples to get the essencese of the four bosses there, then use the power of my ocarina to summon the great guardians to destroy the moon when it gets here!
Oh wait, did I say moon? I meant Asteroid. Yes. Aster.....moon....
ARRGH!

it's 1.25 at some of the malls in maryland now for bottled soda. and also, don't believe in any of that "end of the world crap" because there is no such thing as it. And if the asteroid is on a collision course with earth, i think 11 years is enough time to do something about it. Supposedly, we would need at least 7 years to do anything that would have any real effect in preventing the asteroid strike and we have 4 years surplus. so i wouldn't worry. well then again, there are always those unseen asteroids with no warnings. so maybe we will all die. ya know, if you really want to get freaked out, there are millions of black holes out there in our galaxy alone, and they are very teeny tiney, about the size of a marble or less, anyway, you can't see those untill they start to suck of matter of the sun or planets, so there could be numerous black-holes just looming out there, waiting to suck everything up.
