2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again

bfwebster writes "The latest update from NASA now gives 2004 MN4 a 1-in-37 chance (probability of 2.7%) of hitting Earth on April 13, 2029. That's a bump up from the 1-in-46 (2.2%) odds given this weekend and almost a 10x increase in probability from the original 1-in-300 odds announced late last week. Interesting times, indeed."

Not if it landed in the Gulf of Mexico. Or anywhere with a significant land mass between the point of impact and a U.S. Coastline.

Don't be so dense you stupid welfare monkey. Besides, if the blue states were wiped out, who would subsidize your government provided trailer home and food stamps?

Now, shut the hell up, Cletus. If I wanted to hear a pukehole talking I'd go punch a blue state drunk in the gut in the bar across the street. With your sorry lack of education, the drunk's vomiting noises would still be leaps and bounds smarter than anything you and your trailer trash friends could come up with if you put all of your inbred heads together and thought until your brains smoked like your trucks.

Go eat your grits and attend to your mama's "special needs" hillbilly bob. I'll call you when my $500 leather shoes need a shine or I need a rag to sop up a water puddle beside one of my Bentleys.
