And just so you don't get all comfy with those long odds...

Our chance of getting hit is slightly greater than one in a million. If you pass under the 10th street bridge in downtown Atlanta, you have about a one in a million chance of having a wreck before you get to the Perimeter (in either direction).

I'd say we have at least two wrecks a week there.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while i'm alive
(it's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while i'm alive
It's my life


This is for the ones who stood their ground
For tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks


It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while i'm alive
(it's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while i'm alive
cause it's my life


Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down


It's my life
And it's now or never
cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while i'm alive
(it's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while i'm alive


It's my life

Ironically enough, Jupiter has been probably the biggest factor in PREVENTING us from getting hit. Having all that gravity tends to keep stuff away from us, and keeps the Asteroid Belt from moving inwards =)

Oh, when love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever

have Armageddon and Deep Impact taught you nothing? the world wont blow up..

just render the surface uninhabitable... reverting us to an underground body lotto, then we can drill to the center of the earth and jumpstart the core when the impact throws it off.


Seriously though, what would one say in the face of inevitable doom like that?

There's a huge difference between one chance of one in a million, and the x chances of one in a million where x equals the amount of cars passing under that bridge in one week.

I've been scared about asteroids hitting Earth ever since about 6th grade. Since then, I've realized something: The press make doom and gloom seem 10 times worse than it really is, so what do I say? "Who gives a shit." They've said that an asteroid was going to hit around November of 2000 (or some year around there), but it never happened. There weren't any other reports about the asteroid coming. So with one in a million chance, we're safe. But if we do get hit? At least all of us will die quickly, which is many people's death wish, including mine.
