Me, I will be sitting on the biggest damn building I can find (CN Tower in Toronto if I have the time) with food, water, my Buckethead CDs and a really comfy chair.

I mean shit, I'm not gonna miss the greatest lightshow in the world by hiding in a hole. it will kick ASS!

Right before it kills me, be it wall of fire or 4 mile high tidal wave moving faster than the speed of sound.

But hey, that is the price to pay for the greatest "BOOM" our planet could hope to produce

I just head that the probabality is 1/909,000. Not too bad. It's a better chance than being hit by lightning. But It'll be a few days before we know our fate, at best, I say it grazes us.

Come to think of it... Most of us will forget about this a few years later or even a few days later. I know I will.

EDIT: PLUS if we don't have the technology now, we'll most likely have it at that time to destroy the damn thing before it hits us.

People won't suicide until it's a sure thing. Once they know it will hit us (say, it's gone through Jupiter's orbit and the asteroid belt and is still steadily coming at us). Even if it didn't hit head on (or passed right by), it would cause a lot of damage.

Actually, popular science did an article about this. It's very difficult to stop something with that much kinetic energy in only a few years.

You don't have to stop it. All you have to do is divert it a few microradians at a sufficient distance and it'll miss the earth by thousands of kilometers.

Or, conversely, you knock it onto a collision course because your math was wrong.

Gee, I hope it doesn't hurl between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. If it did, it might be a thousand years before the Earth is reborn.

Actually, second hand smoke is largely a myth, although a popular one since nobody can really expose it without being viewed as a sold-out tobacco "fatcat"

This is the most depressing thread I've ever seen. If anyone needs me, I'll be under my bed crying myself to sleep.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.
