Thanks for that convincing hypothesis Professor Austin. I speak not for any other person, but I will sleep easier at night knowing you think the chances of a collision are, like, 1/1000000 (give or take a few zeros)
Perhaps this is the next one to get worried about
April 13/2029... It just HAD to be a Friday, didn't it.

The end of the world is nigh. At least if it does wipe out the human race we won't have to listen to any more doom-merchants predicting the end of the world. Who thought up this damned topic anyway?
I'm sure that those geniuses at Hollywood will manage to make a film about it beforehand- something where the mission is facing certain doom, but one brave, heroic American gives his life so that others may live...
Hey, Professor Austin- what are you doing 13/4/29?
For my part, I shall get blind drunk and enjoy an especially good firework display.
