    Default Giant asteroid scheduled to hit earth 2041

    http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1137...feeds%2Flatest

    Ok the odds have been calculated by the astronomers, are any books carrying this yet?
    Astronomers have placed the odds of an impact at 1 in 2.04
    I did NOT just make this up, but just might make plans for a special dinner on March 35th....

    lol - It will only hit Earth if an extra four days are added to the month of March in 2041.

    According to the distance of the asteroid and time to impact, the beast is traveling at whopping 208 km/h, or around 130 mph.

    Since this isn't CNN's official page, I think someone posted it to test how many people will see such an article. Marcus575 published just that one article and got 340k views and 36k shares.

    Whatever you're reading, first check who wrote it. It's a good habit.

    Shame it is a hoax, I think wiping out the abomination that is the human race would be a positive development for this planet...

    Agreed.

    Although, as long as there's no catastrophe, the doomsday preppers look really stupid. As they should. I wouldn't want them to have the pleasure of a doomsday actually happening. Their "told you so" would be unbearable. It would really ruin the doomsday for me.

    I don't really understand the doomsday preppers ...

    All of their effort seems to be an attempt to prolong a pale reflection of current day living - and they'll manage 6-12 months at most - while spending all these intervening years in some form of miserable deprivation digging holes in the ground and generally not enjoying themselves.

    Personally, if something that big hits, I'd rather be directly underneath it, and not attempting to eke out a miserable existence afterwards.

    It's very much WTF to me?
