WARNING. Picture Inaccurate.

Good, I still have time for my surplus ammo order to be delivered. Also my little brother will have to settle for Armageddon/Rapture for his Birthday on the 22nd
Well, the media has other things to worry about right now, like celebutards, Perry/Bachman, and bad mouthing the current Administration. (At least by their standards)SaneAmongInsane said:
And as Tyson has said, the odds cant be calculated just yet. It's flyby is 2029. If it hits a gravatational "keyhole" (an area of about 600 miles) then it WILL strike Earth in 2036 as it loops back around. If it misses the keyhole, then nothing.
Buyt with it's size and rotation, and the distance it is currently at, calculations wont be accurate, until it gets much closer. SO really, we wont know that it will hit the keyhole till a few years before the first flyby.
Besides, Scientists has given it the name Apophis accuratly, as it could very well destroy us. Here in America, the majority of the population will simply call it "Jesus", as it will be the "Judgement Day" sent from God, the Christians so desperatly want to happen. So there is another reason why it really isnt being worked on here in America, its all the will of "God". Makes me sick.
Nowadays I think predicting doomsday is less about genuinely warning people of the end of times and more about getting your name in the paper and maybe making a quick buck.
As for why we're so obsessed with it, I'unno, it's kind of odd thinking about a world that comes as-is. No brands, no internet, no cities, if it all goes up in smoke then we're left with a world we can rebuild according to OUR vision, because WE survived while everyone else died horribly. It'd be like if Minecraft and Fallout had a real life baby!

1 in 250 000 is pretty good considering they used to have it at odds of 1 in 37 (~3%).SaneAmongInsane said:

Well if one of them involves creatures like zombies or triffids, then maybe the next one will wipe them out. 
Something close to that, I think.Mcupobob said:
I think it also has something to do with people's tendency to believe the time they live in to the be the most important. There's no global wars going on, science is progressing normally, so people have to find some way to make this time special.
I think that's why we've seen so many of these cropping up lately.
As someone who was in their late teens in 2000, I've pretty much become inured to doomsday claims.
"?It wont be spiritual on October 21st,? Camping said, adding, ?the world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick.?"
"Very quick" instead of "5 months of Hell on Earth"?
Wow, God *IS* really merciful! :O
Seriously, why does any publication publish such nonsense?
Need viewers/readers/listeners THAT bad? :\
