Have you guys heard the latest news!...A asteroid is heading our way and is expected to strike earth on Friday, April 13 2029 Shreeek! (FRIDAY: 13th )!!
....Although it is likely that it will miss earth the odds are that there is a 1 in 60 chance of it hitting earth..Which for 1 in 60 is extremely high after all the odds of someone winning the lottery are like 1 in 10 million...and someone does always win if you know what i mean.
THE END IS NIGH!

A giant asteroid is speeding towards the Earth, space scientists said today.
The massive rock, almost a quarter of a mile wide, was on a one-chance-in-60 collision course with the planet – though most observers now believe the odds to be a fraction of this.
However, the space rock will come so close that it will pass between the Earth and orbiting telecommunications satellites – and, at 22,600 miles, will be the nearest miss in recorded history.
It will also be visible with the naked eye from the UK mainland.
If the asteroid were to hit Earth, the resulting explosion would be the equivalent to a direct strike with 20 hydrogen bombs.
Vast areas of the planet would be transformed into wasteland, or, if it hit the ocean, a giant tsunami would be generated.
Professor Mark Bailey, director of the Armagh Observatory, said: “I think everyone is saying that it is going to miss, though you will be able to see it with a small telescope or even the naked eye.
“It is like being on a train station platform and watching an express train go by three feet away.
“You’re close but it’s not dangerous.”
The asteroid, called MN4, will skim Earth on Friday, April 13 2029.

Cool news! What more can one ask for? (I'm getting a strong feeling of the movie armaggedon, "give me 5 words A.J") ;-)
