Ready to be hit by a satellite?
Quote:
Nasa says the risk to life from the UARS - Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite - is just 1 in 3,200.
Hurtling at 5m (8km) per second, it could land anywhere between 57 degrees north and 57 degrees south of the equator - most of the populated world.

Sometime around September 24th is when they say it'll come down...

According to the article it is. Australia sent the cleanup bill to the US when a satellite landed on their soil.

What are the odds of being killed by a satellite while nailing Angelina Jolie?

I don't care what they say, if a small piece of that satellite lands in my yard I am keeping it.

Oh absolutely. There's no way I wouldn't keep it if it was a reasonable size.

The Oilers are going to announce there is a chance it will land in Edmonton, and turn it into a TSN show.
