You cant rule out the the superstition nonsense though, if i recall correctly the Nostradamus writings (which supposidly tell the future in its own little way) stop at a date around 2030 ish, allthough i cant be sure. I dont really believe in superstition unless i have actual proof, gets the mind thinking though, i think we as humans will find the perfect strategy against a collision, and being so far away from now we have time to determine what to do. Aparently better calculations can be made in 2013. Till then the mind runs wild, lol According to my calculations April 13th 2036 is a Sunday, not a Friday, so thats the superstitious Friday the 13th out the window, lol, its only a 5500-1 chance of hitting us anyway, that all depends whether it changes direction in 2029 when it passes us, aparently missing us narrowly by only 600,000 miles!

What will we ever find to write about then? Oh no – if it’s going to hit the US that means no more United States!

What will we ever find to write about then?

You bet we can...<blockquote>Learn to play the banjo. Take peppermint Rye-Kee Shee-At-Zoo relaxation therapy and oodles of Ag-nasial I&I-drop suppliments, eat no kind of frozen portion, and floss. Good planets are real hard to find, so enjoy the one you got while it's here. Call your ma. Do an anonymous kindness for your better half, another for a total stranger. Having all the best toys is useless when they all spontaneously combust from a global Wormwood shockwave. <i>You should be diggin' it while it's happenin'</i> One thing you will just have to get used to is hearing news of a possible collision; we have only started funding the projects to look for these things since Hollywood took an interest with Armageddon, and we have only just recently turned on a bunch of new toys to do automated sky surveys. There are also some new (and very clever) amateur projects co-ordinating multiple telescopes to detect these criters, one of which plans to network dozens of ground based machines around the world. You may remember a few years back the 2028 doomsday story -- consider them good ghost stories, then go back to work. <i>[ <a href="http://blog.teledyn.com/node/35" rel="nofollow">TeledyN: Stop worrying; love the rock</a> ]</i></blockquote> In light of recent oxytocin research, I'd add another: Hug your kids too.
