There has been a lot of discussion about a gigantic asteroid set to hit Earth in about 20 years. Admittedly, I was scared by this thought and especially the accompanying photos. Thankfully, I am a nerd and received all of this news via Slashdot. According to their post, this is not really much of a threat. Here is what they had to say...

The BBC article's headline (and accompanying illustration) are more alarming than the story itself seems to warrant: this asteroid has been given a 0.06 on the Palermo technical scale, which means it shouldn't bump getting run over by a llama off your list of worries.

And thus, I fear no rocks of life-threatening size. Bring it on universe, show me what else you got.
