This would certainly be an interesting way to go, killed by some sort of asteroid-related catastrophe like a huge tidal wave or the blocking out of the sun or the White House collapsing on you (wait, that was hostile aliens).
2014.03.21 is just a couple of days before my 47th birthday. Maybe I should start celebrating now?
The British agency responsible for identifying potentially hazardous asteroids says US astronomers are warning of a possible collision in 2014.
The UK Government’s Near Earth Object Centre says American astronomers have discovered a large, fast-approaching asteroid that could hit the earth on 21 March, 2014.
But they add the chances of it doing so are just 1 in 909,000.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but it seems to me that the NASA need some more funding for their new plane…

You do realize you have a better chance of winning the lottery. Make you think.

Follow up - ooops someone made a mis-calculation - the chance is now 1 in 2.2 million….

Perhaps George Bush would like to send his Air Force to invade the Asteroid first.
