The year is 2036 and the post 2012 world wants another disaster scenario like a flower petal needs an acid bath. Reeling from the shock of the great cosmic alignment, the new species of Homo Sapiens Deluxe crawl out from their bunkers only to be greeted by the prospect of a friendly extinction class asteroid. If only the dinosaurs had the Star Wars space defense system. Maybe then, the earth would not be inhabited by a bunch of monkeys with digital watches.

According to Nasa, the ominously named Apophis will possibly smack down on Earth on 13th April 2036 This of course is a date with a standard deviation and probability attached. Still, the best case scenario is within a lunar distance of the planet! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember a near miss like this very recently without so much as a whimper of tidal response.

If you can believe it, back in the early 80s, Billy Meir, the one armed attention seeker from Switzerland informed us of the potential of a devastating asteroid impact ‘some time’ in the future! Maybe if the Pleiadeans had NASA.gov, they could have been a bit more accurate… Just throwin’ that out there…
