Avoid the Asteroid...

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Astronomers have made another "boo boo".

Initially they thought Asteroid 1999 RQ36 (why the stupid name?) would harmlessly pass us by. Alas, revised calculations say there's now a chance, albeit slim, that this ugly hunk of rock could strike Earth between 2169 and 2199.

Great. At least we have time to warn the grandkids. That's if the recession doesn't get us first.

I'm off to slip into my sandwich board and walk the streets of Dublin....

Happy Monday!
