1 in 500 Chance

Bruce Willis, where are you? There is an asteroid approaching Earth and there is a 1 in 500 chance that it will hit us. That is not so great. If I wanted to play Major League Baseball and I got one hit in 500 at bats I would quickly find myself out of a job.

If it does, it might be the size of the asteroid that caused the Arizona crater, but it won't have the force to create a crater that large. Don't worry, it won't be a danger until 2030. Wait! I'll be 78 years old then. Let it land on my head.
