Too small for that. So at least we have THAT going for us. :)

I don't know what leaders would do in this situation -- I'm afraid some would say "1,000-to-1? I *like* those odds!" But I'm hoping they'd work together to save the planet. Their track record so far, however, has not been encouraging.

btw, this came up in a different thread a while back, and some of us (well, me at least) wondered if some End-Timers would welcome the news and actively try to prevent us from avoiding an impact. (Turns out there was already a movie using that general idea, so I lost my creativity points.)

But overall, the odds of being killed by an asteroid impact are probably higher than, say, getting struck by lightning, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it -- unless there's a thunderstorm nearby.
