OH JESUS GOD, THAT ASTEROID IS GOING TO HIT THE EARTH IN 2040! IT'S 140 METERS WIDE AND IT'S GOING TO KILL US ALL!! REPENT!! REPENT!!!
What's that, NASA? We won't even begin to know for sure until 2013?
It's only a 1 on the 10-point Torino Impact Hazard Scale?
The actual odds of an impact are only 1 in 625?
What's that, Mike? 140 meters is less than one-hundredth the size of the asteroid believed to have killed the dinosaurs, and would probably only smush some trees?
Oh, okay. Nevermind then.
