Now it's down to as little as 1 million years? It's a good thing that they don't hit us today with that frequency. If a gold or diamond comet slams into my backyard can I keep it?-that would depend on how many of the total pool of comets we've already hit/been hit by. If there are only so many things in your way - and you just keep going round the same way again and again - eventually everything will either be stuck to your grill or laying on the side of the road. I imagine the first lap would be hell - and the last lap heaven, from the point of view of not wanting to get hit by a comet.
