Between flying asteroids, rogue tsunamis, ebola viruses etc..my new years resolution is to appreciate the present!!

At age 50, you have a 5 percent (1 in 20) chance of developing cancer during your lifetime and a 2.5 percent (1 in 40) chance of dying of colon cancer.

Given the similar odds, I find this scarier, but maybe thats because I will be well past 50 when we get wiped out (maybe) in 2029. Thanks for the warning though, I'm off to start digging my underground shelter right now.

Fingers crossed then...

Killer asteroid coming in 2029

Isn't this terrible? What are we going to do? How will we stop the killer asteroid? Will it hit us? OhMyGod!!

Don't worry, we'll most likely have all suffocated from air pollution by then.

Don't worry too much. I already have a plan to strap a thermo-nuclear device to me head and nut it as it comes in. Just savin' up for the Aspirins to do the job.

Looks like a crunchy bar in the picture, so with luck it has a nice chocolate outside and honeycomb centre.

That link posted by cowgirl goes to the Bild Zeitung. The Bild, as you probably know, is Germany's biggest tabloid newspaper. It is routinely filled with bullshit sensationalist stories. In fact, there's so much bullshit which is published as if it were fact that a very popular website has sprung up which every day breaks down the lead Bild stories and reveals the truth (or lack of) behind them.

This website is called: BILDblog.de

And today's lead article reveals the falsehoods and absurd sensationalisms behind the latest asteroid story. If you read German see the article here: 0,2 Promille




Note, the correct title of this TT topic should be, "Asteroid will probably not hit Earth by 2029".

@Editor Bob

So we're not gonna die after all?

But... Bild is a quality impartial non-liberal left-wing non-politically slanted independent news source!!!

Somebody pick me up off the carpet when I've stopped laughin'.

Sheesh. I was already planning to book a flight on an airplane carrying the Swedish National Bikini Team, at that exact time. Then when it landed after the destruction, it would be up to us to repopulate the earth.

Hey... I have to do something to occupy my time when I'm 53...

That is a brilliant idea! If we issue every member of the population with a jetpack (for emergency use only) then when a big rock is about to land we can all fly around until the dust settles.

Whew..no comet nice...reminds me of the Y2K that went on in the states. I told everyone not worry about that. I mean if it happened "no more student loan payments!" is what said.

Editor Bob said shit

"Asteroid will probably hit Earth by 2029..."

Hasn't it occured to anyone that WE will hit the asteriod? Not the other way round.

The Earth is a bully in the solar systems full of others. Can't we all just get along?

So then maybe we should alter the course of the earth with a series of large explosions to avoid a collision...

If you got, use em!

A few around, say, Iran might do the trick

We just send Bruce Willis off again to go save the world. That's the way we did it last time and it seems to have worked, right? We're all still here and that mother-f*cking asteroid really got to taste our medicine! Ha.

@ Editor Bob

Notwithstanding the fact that I agree with you wholeheartedly, it is in actual fact well-known that the Bild for all its lack of quality has the best journalists to be found on German terra firma.

Er...but he died up there. Got kind of blown up. So how do we send him again?

He'll come back in 7 monkeys so it's okay.

Well we cows do not live that long so I'll be long gone by then, but I thought you people would be interested. I hope that asteroid leaves us in peace.

According to Yahoo News:

we are going to be twatted by a huge asteroid in 2025.

I keep thinking of Clive Dunn walking about saying "Don't Panic!"

Don't Panic. Bush and Cheney have it covered.

the moon will save us!!!

Friday, 13th April.

We are all doomed!

So, when you humans hear about it from a cow you don't believe us. But when another human posts about this then suddenly you believe it. Double standards, that's what it is!

Surely the Earth's a lot bigger than the rock so what's the problem?

ask the dinosaurs

Or April 13, 2036
Anyone check the odds in Vegas?

Nooooo ... this is terrible!! Please, please, don't let it happen!! Somebody do something, anything, to prevent it! If they have to destroy the Earth, please on any other date, but not April 13! That's my birthday!

How many times have we heard such announcemnts over the years?...we are all still here, nagging about it::::When I see the day the stock market emtpy its coffers, The Jet pack Idea is Great, mmmmm may be a new commodity is Born...lets invest in Jet Packs till then, we will make a KILLING...well before the Asteroid does.

Heh, heh
