The NEW doomsday date: April 13, 2036 Apophis Meteor! Whee!

General
For those of you who have not killed yourselves, or ended up in jail for doing stupid "last day on earth" type stuff for the 2012 thing... I have exciting news for you! There is still a chance you may die in a devastating disaster, other than the usual drunk drivers and fanatic crazies...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis and multiple videos online.
Be ready for a beautiful show in 2029 when this 250+ meter wide meteor, passes close enough to earth that it will go right between earth and the communication and eavesdropping junk we have orbiting our planet. There is talk of the "Keyhole" that it would have to pass through for Earth's gravity to bend its course enough, causing it to strike earth dead on with its next pass around April of 2036. (There is a penis and butt joke in there somewhere!) Though, according to Astrophysicists, the chances of it getting in the "Keyhole" zone are something around 3+million to 1... Or was it 300k? Meh, not important... Bwahaha!
Lemmie debunk some stuff BEFORE dumb people go nuts... If you are willing to bet on 3million to 1 odds: Yes, it will seriously fuck over an up to 1000 square mile area, wherever it hits, and cause tsunamis if it hits ocean... But it WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT, end life as we know it, erase hard drives, kill all humanity, black out the sun (other than in the immediate area of impact and downwind a bit), or cause an everlasting winter. 250meters across is barely 0.15 of a mile. Though it will make a big boom and cause some scientifically interesting effects. (My Geology Senses are tingling!)
We will, also, be able to tell YEARS before, if it will hit, and where it will hit... I'm hoping it hits the Middle East somewhere and finally ends all the stupid religious wars and oil wars that have been going on there for 3000+ years. Then, maybe, we can finally bring our troops home and fix the economy. *chuckles* That is if North Korea, China, or Iran hasn't nuked the whole world by then.
Though the true doomsday will happen in a little over 10 years from now with a resurgence of "Meteor Impact" movies... Take a seat zombies, your time in the limelight is over... It is time for a slew of Meteor and comet related movies, AGAIN! (Yeah... 1990s reference!) Wait... Unless there are movies of the meteor CAUSING zombies, or HAVING zombies on it! Yes! Brilliant! Zombie Meteor Invasion!
We can expect a slew of Heavy metal Apophis songs to rock us as we wait... Because this thing is Brutal and made out of mostly iron... Making it as heavy metal as it gets! *headbangs and throws up the Diablo horns!*

Not like we won't have plenty of warning though, and not nearly as spectacular as angry Mayan gods skull-fucking the earth into Oblivion.
Anything less is just not an apocalypse.
Seriously. Just live your lives till you die. * goes to find the idiot who announced
this originally so i can punch him out*.
I say it is the end of the world for countless people every day, and the begining of the world for an exponential countless many more each day.
