Asteroid/comet striking the Earth that is large enough to cause global disaster: 1/1000

this stat alone proves that these are all made up

[/ QUOTE ]

According to NASA: "The asteroids capable of causing a global disaster if they hit the Earth are extremely rare. They probably would need to be about a kilometer or more in diameter. Such bodies impact the Earth only once every 100,000 years on average."

I assumed a human lives 100 years to make it simple.

???

[/ QUOTE ]

if everyone lives 100 years, and a comet comes every 100,000 years, that would be 1 comet for each 100,000/100 = 1,000 generations

since we can assume the comet will kill everyone, your chance of dying from one is 1/1,000

[/ QUOTE ]

For this to be right you have to assume that we reproduce only when we reach 100 years old. DUCY?

Chances of dying from a bee sting: 1:15000000

[/ QUOTE ]

i almost died from this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Some kid i knew did indeed die from that. He was like 8, playing outside and got stung in the throat/end of tongue. It was all swollen up in no time and he suffocated. He was also a bit mentally challenged, perhaps he could have even breathed through the nose and just panicked.

Sad sad story.

Are you allergic to bees?

[/ QUOTE ]

ya, i didnt know it at the time. had been stung numerous times as a kid so figured i wasnt allergic. i was 19 and mowing the lawn and was stung by a hornet which are a bit nastier than your average honeybee. they nest in the ground so obv the mower pissed them off. i was stung once, on the ankle. didnt think much of it but couldnt walk too well which pissed me off bc i had to go to work soon and the lawn was halfmowed.

took a shower bc i had to go to work. when i emerged my chest was completely red and waves of heat where running thru my head. weird. my mom freaks and drives me to the hospital. while they are asking me dumb questions like how old i am for the 100th time i pass out. they shoot me up with epinephrine and antihistamine and i live. had nightmares for awhile.

fwiw, it was about 40min since the sting before i was in serious danger. allegedly the first time you usually have the most time. if i were to be stung again i could have as little as 5 min to respond.

So you are telling me I am 100 times more likely to see Earth be hit by an asteroid than being eaten by a shark?? Thats odd, I thought there were more sharks than asteroids...
