So, there's a tiny chance that this might happen, in a billion years?

I wont worry then.

Another typical fear inducing story by the mainstream media. Not going to happen.

Astronomers calculate there is a tiny chance that Mars or Venus could collide with Earth - though it would not happen for at least a billion years.

BBC said:
The new planet would be a little bit bigger than venus

I would never have guessed.

I do think we should form a new political party maybe and adopt some colour and try to galvanise the population to prevent this event destroying the Earth, I'm thinking of saving our children's childrens future here.

I don't wish to hijack this thread, but let's entertain the idea for a moment: should 2012 come and go without incident - what are you going to do?

For starters, as i've said before before, i'll make a big apology to everyone in this forum and admit I was wrong.

And what if people start producing counter-conspiracies to justify the non-event which no doubt they will?

Want to front us that apology? should the world end we will hand it back.

I wonder what it'd be like just before the uh... splat. Surely objects would start to get ripped from the Earth to Venus before they collide because of mavity.

I, for one, welcome our potential future large other-planetary overlords and offer my humble servitude... as, er, future dust?

We'll be long dead by then anyway, the human race of Earth that is.
