They are some fairly good odds people. Even buying a lotto ticket does not have those odds.
I find it fascinating that I have more chance of being hit by a metal object the size of a bus hurtling through our ozone in a bursting ball of flames than my odds of ever winning lotto.
WTF!!!!
No body expects a bus sized object to fall out of the sky and kill them.
Fucked UP Odds when you put that in perspective with other stats.
This previous space debris dying statistic was 1 in 5 billion. Can you see where I am going with this people. That’s a bloody big drop in statistics and I am not even very good at them.
Think of your chance in the lotteries here in NZ. Statistically you have a 1 in 38,383,800 chance of winning first division Powerball.
Today someone is going to have better luck getting nailed by a satellite. And lets face it, a bus sized object has probability to not kill just one person but several.
Are you feeling lucky punk?
The statistic for dying in a car accident is 1 in 5000.
If you break this statistic down then your odds are starting to look better in comparison; not by much when you stop to ponder how much of your life is spent commuting.

Can I scalp my satelitte lottery ticket on ebay, If I win I want to transfer the prize!

Because I am trying to be practical instead of running round like chicken little with the sky is falling it is good to be able to put these statistics into further perspective by saying there are an approximated 6,852,472,823 people in the world today.
If you divide this by the current set odds of 1 in 3200 you would devise that at least 2,141,398 people really need to be concerned that Friday is not going to be such a great day.
Sorry folks I used Swedish rounding and raised .76 to the nearest whole value. So un-pc of me when we are talking about the statistics of survival; these things have to be easy for me to fathom the ratio of statistical madness.
So if you subtract 2,141,398 from 6,852,472,823 the odds are fantastic that you will be totally unaffected by this event.
However I have not finished with the flip side of happy to explore these statistics further.
One of the odd little facts I found said that you have a 1 in 2 million chance of killing yourself by falling out of bed. This is the same odds as getting hit by lightening, or being killed in a tornado.
All I am thinking is that its not even safe to get out of bed!!
In my search for fascinating facts I found those which gave me some comfort.
I found some comfort in other facts such as knowing that at least 85,999 people in the world do not want to poison me. That statistic is down to 1 in 86 thousand. Seriously I don’t think I even know 86 thousand people.
Statistics that will start paranoid schizophrenic episodes that at least one person is out to get you. It only takes one. Its always only one.
So back to my satellite statistical madness. Imagine the amount of people who will not be victim to being hit by the satellite but instead they will witness something phenomenal. They will hear something phenomenal. The Sonic Boom; the most amazing sound ever!
Is it too un-pc to be thinking - Yay for fucken YouTube. If this shit hits the web is going to get fucked up with videos.
EPIC!!!!
I guess if I wanted to get lost in statistics I could talk about the land mass ratio to water with the probabilities of where Optimus the satellite is going to land, but lets not make this a brainy blog. I have a reputation to keep of being a crazy bitch with no logic.
Think of the bright side of these statistics.
Your TGIF will now turn into TFIAA
"Thank Fuck I am Alive!!!!"
To leave you on a positive
Just like lotto; your odds are that you will never be that person who gets the big one
What a LOSER!!!!
Keep Safe, wear clean undies and hope that you aren't 1 in 3200.
Monday lets sue Nasa for all the space shit they left up there as potential dangers!! Messy Fuckers!!
