Memo To Hitlery: Don't run until 2032.

Uh-oh (This cheery bit of news is from John McCaslin's Inside the Beltway column in The Washington Times.)

So, you're worried about a bird-flu pandemic?

Wait until you read a more dire warning from a Russian scientific conference dedicated to asteroid and comet security: Life on Earth could be wiped out in 2035.

Russian news agencies say the warning was delivered at a conference that was just held at the Practical Astronomy Institute in St. Petersburg.

"Viktor Shor of the Practical Astronomy Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences said that at present many experts see a real threat of earth's collision with the 2004 MN4 asteroid," MosNews reports. It says the collision was initially predicted for 2028, but new calculations show the asteroid only passing close to Earth that year. (Given the latest calculations of 2035, earthlings have 30 years to get their things in order.)

"The scientists say that a similar disaster took place millions of years ago and resulted in the extinction of 90 percent of all living species," the news agency notes.
