I was talking with Barry over lunch about the possible End Of The World in 2019. It sounds like it's higher odds to win the Mega-Millions lottery (1 in 135,145,920) than to get hit by this asteroid in 17 years (1 in 60,000). I'm not feeling too good about this - hopefully the scientific community will be able to take more observations and get better data to make sure that this isn't going to happen. What is interesting, though, is that the National Safety Council (those Green Cross people) have a table - Odds of Death Due to Injury, United States, 1998 - to show the odds of dying by certain events. Did you know that for any given year, there is a 1 in 390,532 chance of dying in an Air or space transport accident?
