RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

On April 13, 2029, there is a 1/233 chance of an asteroid wiping us out (pause for dramatic effect).

Just the latest in death threats from the heavens. Of course if that worries you, than you don't want to hear about all the terrible things that are more likely to happen (terrible epidemics, nuclear terrorism, the collapse of society because of oil shortages, divine intervention, etc.). My point is that we've always been under the threat of annihilation, so why should we be any more worried because there is a (very very small) chance that an asteroid might hit the earth?

Of course we should take precautions, but there isn't any reason to live in fear all the time. Death is inevitable - whether it comes as fire raining down, or a whimper from your throat. No point in worrying about it if you can't prevent it. Better to worry about threats we can do something about.
