"A mountain of rock and iron is hurtling towards us from space. Apophis -- a 300-meter diameter asteroid -- is still millions of kilometers distant. But in 2029, it will make a spectacularly close passage by our planet. When it does, its orbit around the Sun will be affected.

A shift of just a few hundred kilometers, and Apophis could return in 2036 to slam into Earth, creating widespread devastation."

Bah! The Earth COULD explode like Krypton any day now, too! Don't bother me with your COULD, scientists! :p

The _proper_ response is, "The Earth could explode? How can I help?"

If you two can't play nice with the planet, I'm afraid you're going to have to go to your rooms.
