If it hits, it’s over 1000 feet in diameter, that would be, uh, pretty serious. The Meteor Crater in AZ is 3/4 of a mile in diameter, and was caused by an object about 100 yards wide; let’s call it 333 feet, or 1/3 of 1000 — that’s in all three dimensions, so 1000 ft diameter is 27 times bigger.

Well, I believe the Book of Revelation describes one of those things as having our number, "but not yet," as the guy in Gladiator said. At that point, we'll be watching from Heaven's mezzanine.
