In 2004, NASA scientists announced that there was a chance that Apophis, an asteroid larger than two football fields, could smash into Earth in 2029. A few additional observations and some number-crunching later, astronomers noted that the chance of the planet-killer hitting Earth in 2029 was nearly zilch.

Now, reports out of Russia say that scientists there estimate Apophis will collide with Earth on April 13, 2036. These reports conflict on the probability of such a doomsday event, but the question remains: How scared should we be?

Don't worry, we'll send Bruce Willis and an ensamble cast up there to drill a nuke into that baby, and just for kicks we'll have BP manage the entire operation. What's the worry?

Bruce Willis will be 80 if he's still alive.

No worries. We'll have Chuck Norris. Even his spirit will drive away such pesky little stones.
