#2 ...but only hits the Earth once every 1,200 years.
Statistically-speaking, that means we're probably safe for quite a while, since a similar asteroid hit just over 100 years ago.
Statistically speaking, huh? That's so ignorantly wrong it makes my head hurt to think about it. I just hope they used better math to calculate the orbital elements.

#7 Earthlings:
Consider this your final warning. Release immediately our brother held hostage in the place you refer to as Mecca. Failure to comply will turn your stargazing into a sea of fire.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
