Am I being wooshed? It's impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.
Nah, you have it right. 4-5 needs runner runner 2-3 or 6-7
That aren't both hearts (aces can still make a flush)
Heh, yeah. It's early for me but my monkey brain thinks aces has a better chance of the flush than that double double gutshot draw does.
Just needs a world card
Hearts but not for the 3% guy. Still low odds for a flush, yeah?

So what level of calamity are we talking about here? 3% doesn’t sound that low to me.
If it is on a collision course we probably have time to do something about it. If we don't do anything about it it'll probably hit the ocean and it's not big enough to cause any kind of crazy mega tsunami or anything like that. If it does hit land it'll probably hit in the middle of nowhere and kill, like, 12 people, and if it does manage to beat all the odds and hit a major city it will be a major disaster, but it's not going to be the apocalypse or anything.
Well we wouldn't have to worry about global warming anymore
This size meteor would destroy a city but not have lasting planet-scale effects. Think Tonguska event.
Yes we would? This isnt a planet killer. Its a city killer. Plus theyll know where itll hit and can evacuate the area before hand. There is no reason a single person should die from this rock unless someone does something stupid.
They arent 100% sure on the size but itll be a regional disaster. Few hundred square miles of destruction. And theyll be able to evacuate the area before hand. Itll land somewhere between south america and india theres a line map you can find of the area that could be hit and thatll get narrowed down as time goes on. We will know where its gonna hit far in advance if it does hit.

Revised down to 0.27%
Just when it was getting good too! One of these days...
An interesting thought is that if it actually hits, this might provide the impetus for some countries to get their shit together and get into space for good. Potentially changing the course of history.
