        The last big asteroid hit, it is thought, took place about 65
million years ago and precipitated the end of the dinosaur dynasty, birds
excepted.

        There have been about 4 or 5 big hits on the earth that we know of,
at least one was more catastrophic than the event which took out the
dinosaurs.

        I have a question for the astronomers and statisticians of
CoV:aren't we about due for another big hit sometime soon? What are the
odds? How "soon" is soon in geological time?

        anxiously yours
