allegedly this is supposed to wreak havoc on January 29th... so repent now i guess...

I had a look at Tu-24.org, it clearly states that there is 0.0% chance of the object hitting us.

Shucks vk2yoc,
That was just one more reason for me to flirt shamelessly! Oh well, maybe I'll just do it anyway!

I know that the site states that there is a zero percent chance. They just contradict themselves in the first paragraphs in the center of the page where they state that it is 'heading straight for us'.

this type of sensationalist scaremonger crap is what irks my soul.

"TU24 is approximately 6-12x larger and headed our way. It's the largest potentially hazardous asteroid for the next 19 years."
This is hardly saying it's 'heading straight for us'.

Flirting anyway sounds good to me.

"They just contradict themselves in the first paragraphs in the center of the page where they state that it is 'heading straight for us'."

In a relative sense, it is heading straight for us.

well in a relative sense we are all heading towards something aren't we.... taxes, love, hate, strife, peace, death, godhead.... so I guess if you put it that way it is true.
