Potentially Dangerous Asteroid Spotted Passing Earth

These things have always been trundling by. It's just that mankind's technology has advanced to the state that they are now noticeable.

Asteroids?...I thought you could get cream for them.
I was in the canteen the other day,
looked at the menu and asked for some the Pissoles,
the cook said that's not a 'PEE' thats an 'ARR'.
So I said in that case can I have some ARRsoles

The old ones still work!

Anon Hero pointed out another one to me a couple weeks back when we were discussing asteroid deflection/destruction technologies and there was an interesting thing. JPL has a database of asteroids and calculates their orbits and notes any close approaches it finds. At first the asteroid showed to be HITTING the earth in about 64 years if memory serves, then, a day or so later, all the orbital and close approach data disappeared completely from the website, then when it came back a day or so later, there was a flurry of 3 or 4 close approaches to various planets between now and next year, and then NOTHING until 2070 or so. now mind you this was an earth orbit crossing asteroid that crossed the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter and had a period of about 3 years and was at an angle to the ecliptic such that half it's orbit was above the plane of the ecliptic and half below.

it's enough to make someone think it's a conspiracy....=b
