Put in a call to Bruce Willis, just in case.
I'll give him a call, when he drops by Denmark....arcticpenguin said:
So shouldn't we like....practice pushing it off course, you know just for future reference?
Anyway, you know you're life has taken some wrong turns when you're almost disappointed it isn't going to hit in 11 years. I first heard about it and thought, "great, I can finally forget about any semblence of a decent life, and just quit my stinky job, cash out my life savings and party it up in Rio until the end."
And I bet I could score a lot more if women knew the end was coming.

Another good point.
In the lottery ads, when they say, "Someone's gotta win, might as well be you!" I guess an appropriate response might be, "Not neccessarily...the potential winnings could just keep stacking up for a year or two, and then the asteroid hits."

Unfortunately, the average Joe on the street doesn't understand 1 in a million. It might as well be 1 in 1 for most folks. Afterall, they hear that the odds of winning the lottery jackpot is much less than 1 in a million and you always hear about someone winning it! Of course, the press doesn't help much with messages of imminent Doomsday!
