100 foot asteroid just misses the earth. I wonder how many of these occure reguarly without us noticing. Hmm?

In the words of the great George Carlin.

"Thats not a near miss. Its a near hit. A HIT is a near miss.
"damn.. we nearly missed""

We probably have near misses every few months, but the asteroids are too small to be noticed by astronomers. We'll know if one hits
