Glad to see that the Slashdot editors are doing their best to educate it's readers... considering that we're talking about an event that is over 10 years away, and that is extremely unlikely to even hit us.

Correct me, If I am indeed wrong, however a One in 909,000 chance is for the most part, hardly worth consideration.
That being said, I do wish for at least a few more objects of reasonable size to decend from the heavens at terminal velocity to strike at the stupid, and ignorant.

Bush economic plan, why have a fiscally sound government when the world will end in a few years anyway? Next trick, the IRS embraces micro-payments.
Wow, you worked pretty hard to take a shot at those nasty "eco freaks" there -- the idea being that those freaks will object, Cassini-style, to the power source of the lifter itself, despite its cargo of "enough nukes"? I guess potential armageddon's as good an excuse to whine about environmentalists as any... Nicely thought through.
"Fundamentalism" isn't about divine morality. It's about human authority.
Terry Pratchet and British satirist. In his Discworld series of books one of the running jokes is the way that "million to one" chances are almost always a dead certainty.
This is exactly the sort of thing that I hate about Pratchet's books. That's not particularly funny, nor cleverly done, it's only weakly ironic. Making it a running gag doesn't make it any funnier - it quickly becomes really irritating.
