    Which city did it obliterate?
    Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.

      It would wipe out 99% of the human race. And thus be beneficial for the planet.

              I mean talk about over egging the pudding.

              "If it had hit Columbus, Ohio, then there would be Columbus, Ohio, no more. But if it hits somewhere where there is nothing, then not much would happen. If it hits the ocean, it may incite a tsunami, but not one that’s life threatening."

                It would have hit with the energy of ~5 Megaton nuke. Which if you were under it, might put a bad spin on your day. But only very briefly. However, there's far more of the planet where nobody is than were somebody is, making the chances of fatality rather low.

                But it should have been spotted earlier.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  And exactly what would we do if it was spotted?

                  Assuming it was going to land on me, I would try to fulfill my wildest dream. Post drivel on CUK.....

                    Arrange a fake NTRT / Big Group Meetup at the projected impact time and place.
