<< You didn't know that? Well, the equation is quite simple: It is considered
that the really big blasts happen about every hundred million years or so.
At such occasions, a third of all mankind may die. 2 billion divided by a
hundred million gives an average of 20 casulties per year...
Of course, such an equation is *complete* nonsense, it's like raping
statistics, but you find that again and again! >>
LOL...I subscribe to Meteorite magazine and I don't think there are even 20
RECOVERIES a year. :D
Never let statistics interfere with the truth...
