> You have to wonder when a large piece of space rock will hit somewhere inhabited. That said, with 3% of earth's land being urban (3% of 29% of Earth), and reasonably infrequent falling rocks, it's really not that likely to happen in any given lifetime.

Suppose the probability was close to 1 for this century instead of a long line of zeros with a 1 at the end.

Why would that be the case?

I'm not going to say it explicitly here but you should be able to figure it out. If you do, probably better not to elaborate. Merely reply with 'ZOG' or 'Oh Shit' and never get a good night's sleep ever again! ;-)
