Boom....

There have been a couple of blockbuster films in the last few years about asteroids on a collision course with the earth, and Bruce Willis or some other megastar saving the day, but it now appears that it might happen for real in 2036. Certainly scientists are taking the possibility seriously enough to develop contingency plans for dealing with the situation, should it arise. The really spooky thing is the date given for it to happen, if indeed it does, is April 13th! Thank goodness I should be long gone by then.
