broken link....

**hurricaneone** · 09-02-2003, 05:44 PM

Without even clicking the link, I can devine that this is about that asteroid that was going to hit us, and now, following further research, will carry on travelling until it hits someone else.

It's almost a 0 on the 1-10 scale that denotes liklihood of Earth impact, so this is prolly not the one.

Though, there's certainly one out there...

I've got my space rocket ready, soon as it gets close I'm out of here.

**asun2art** · 09-02-2003, 05:48 PM

With all that is going on in the Middle east right now, asteriods are the least of our problems.

**aversion** · 09-02-2003, 05:52 PM

chances of this asteroid hitting us are estimated at 100,000,000 to 1 by experts

I'm buying a hard hat...

Actually, the odds are 1 in 909,000.

at the moment yes, but they estimate that once the orbit calculations have been examined closer the rating will drop to zero on the torino scale.

I don't care, I bought a rocket from the russians anyway, I am now searching for a habitable planet to land on.

Yes, that's it, the Torino scale.

Now the question remains, what does some Italian city have to do with asteroids and their chance of Earth impact?

**gSOLO_01** · 09-02-2003, 06:15 PM

If it kills us all, not only will there be no beef, but no chicken, pork, tofu, or ostrich burgers either

!

**asun2art** · 09-02-2003, 06:21 PM

If it hits Earth, you better hope the blast kills you, because you will die a slow agonizing death freezing and starving in nuclear winter.

Have a nice day!!!

Yes, granted, (good) pasta, (good) shoes and opera singers are all quintissentially Italian, but the question remains why it is called the Torino scale, not the Tottenham scale, the Torquay scale, or even the Triblisi scale.

It's gotta be something do to with the uni there.

Oh well we are dead...I have just come to realise, what was the purpose of life?
