Didn't St.Malachy say something about an asteroid or comet wiping out one continent during the last month of pope Benedict? Not sure,someone look into it maybe.

No, but he did say that the Vatican would be struck by lightning mere hours after Benedict announces his resignation.

Where is it supposed to come closest to hitting? Because I'm guessing that since the math boys got the size wrong that the distance (due to mass) is wrong as well. Brings the question back to what is the CORRECTED trajectory ?

Well the truth is are you still paying your taxes ,money plays a major part in any catastrophe ,it goes.. pay taxes ,you only know what the governments want you too know ,save the millionaire members of the government first (not the underlings),save the elite,inform us when the danger is so close you don't have time to save yourself let alone get to your loved ones ,you make it to your loved ones,you all die together ,you don't make it you all die apart,but most important pay your taxes to make sure these elite survive .banana2banana2banana2rockonrockonrockonbanana2banana2banana2

Interesting,

Seems like I remember a poster commenting on if a large asteroid or something was going to hit that we wouldnt know because nobody really understands these things fully...its just all theory...or something like that, kinda like this poster "knew" maybe

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7707807


I would have to assume when they said it would not hit, they were using the 45m number.

True that they should be updating that with the new size, but have they?

anyone?

if the trend continues...45, 52, 58, 65, etc. with three days to go we could easily find out it's 100m, so they have got to keep re-calcing the gravity effects, but will they tell us the new results?

A few days ago the odds of a hit were like 1 in a billion, so they have not completely ruled out a hit. With a larger size those odds have to get closer to 1/million, 1/1000 I would think.

Im no astronomer so I lack supposed "knowledge"...

But if viewing an incoming "object", especially one of a high rate of speed, wouldnt you only be able to see the earth facing side of said "object"? So really how would one know juat how big this thing really is...maybe what we are seeing is really only a fraction of what follows?

if this thing IS gonna hit, it isn't big enough to be an ELE, so there will be a LOT of pissed off people in the aftermath.

on that thread saying it'll hit, the OP said our govs would warn us tomorrow

they BETTER HAD, if it is going to hit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33508203


if they know a small one will hit they may or may not tell the public

if a big ELE rock will hit then the .govs will never tell you

you will know when you see the 3000 foot tsunami

If they tell you that a mile wide or bigger rock is coming then all money would loose its value and people would walk off their jobs society would fall apart. And then the damn thing misses.

No they will never saya word and for many good reasons.
