Brace for Impact

According to NASA, they've discovered a large asteroid that has a 1.6% chance of hitting the Earth. It rates 4 on the Torino scale, which means that it is "A close encounter, with 1% or greater chance of a collision capable of causing regional devastation."

Could be fun.

1.6% I'm so scurrrred! So basically we've got a 98.4% chance of living? I'm not going to be sweating about this one. :p

these happen all the time. usually scientists don't find out about it till after it's already passed earth.
