      The only thing that will hit is would be our own stupidity - nuclear power.

          We will be underground due to global warming long before an asteroid/comet hits.

          I believe its going to be a comet like shoemaker leve 9 that hit jupiter in 94.

          I say a huge comet is what hit the earth and left a big snow ball on top of antartica as well as split the super content in to 7.

          we should survive but end up being mutated in to a totally different being as we adapt to the changes.

              The real worry comes from comets.

              Most of the asteroids that can cause catastrophic damage have been found, and are currently being charted. We have a near-miss expected for sometimes around 2035, if I recall correctly, but that's all we got for this century.

              A comet, however, could come at us at any time with little to no warning, and be just as if not more dangerous than a lot of the asteroids we've charted.

                For the first time, astronomers have found an object on a certain collision course with Earth. Fortunately, it is so small it is not expected to cause any damage, burning up in the atmosphere somewhere above northern Sudan in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. It may, however, produce a brilliant 'shooting star'.
                The space rock, dubbed 8TA9D69, was first spotted on Monday in a survey by the Mt Lemmon Observatory near Tucson, Arizona.
                Its brightness suggests it is no more than about 5 metres across – so small it will likely be destroyed in the atmosphere, says Andrea Milani Comparetti of the University of Pisa in Italy.
                Rocks of such size are thought to hit the atmosphere every few months, says Steve Chesley, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
                "The event is not unusual – what is unique is that it's been predicted beforehand," Milani told New Scientist. "This is the first time we see something arriving, compute that it's going to impact, and announce it is going to impact before it happens."
                The rock is due to hit the atmosphere above northern Sudan on Tuesday at 0246 GMT. It will be travelling from west to east, and may be visible from a few hundred kilometres away.

                                If we do get hit, just hope you get vaporized in the initial impact. Otherwise, a few years later, while you're scavenging the wasteland for food and fuel, Lord Humungus and his gang will rape your wife and beat you severely around the face and neck until you die a slow death.
