Some people must get a thrill up their legs worrying about stuff that isn’t worth worrying about.

I think we can take care of it easily when the time comes but if it does hit, it has the ability to wipe out a large city.
Best bet is maybe we can just get it to land on Mecca or Moscow. That would work :)

If we get hit, it’s Bush’s fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

83 year olds have even less to worry about, normally.

Can’t the apologizer-in-chief just tell it we are sorry for being in the way?

From Wikipedia:
“When first discovered, the object received the provisional designation 2004 MN4 (sometimes written 2004 MN4), and news and scientific articles about it referred to it by that name. When its orbit was sufficiently well calculated it received the permanent number 99942 (on June 24, 2005). Receiving a permanent number made it eligible for naming, and it received the name “Apophis” on July 19, 2005. Apophis is the Greek name of the Ancient Egyptian enemy of Ra: Apep, the Uncreator, a serpent that dwells in the eternal darkness of the Duat (underworld) and tries to swallow Ra during His nightly passage. Apep is held at bay by Set, the Ancient Egyptian god of Chaos.
Although the Greek name for the Egyptian god may be appropriate, Tholen and Tucker two of the co-discovers of the asteroid are reportedly fans of the TV series Stargate SG-1. The show’s main antagonist in the first several seasons was an alien named Apophis who took the name for the Egyptian god and sought to destroy Earth.”
