Asteroid insurance

I found this to be pretty interesting. Most people have insurance on their homes and automobiles. What about insurance on if an asteroid hits the earth? Will you be ready for destruction that a 100 meter wide asteroid can create? Well this article is saying that you should really consider purchasing asteroid insurance for the chance that one will hit. What the hell for? If an asteroid hits the earth, we will pretty much all be dead. If not dead, we might not have any legs or arms left over to work with. Don't waste your money on something as ludicrous as this. Instead, go buy a boat or maybe even a gym membership. Speaking of a gym membership, thats the real problem people should be worried about; everyone is getting fatter.

Actually ... a meteor hit a car in upstate New York about 15 years ago (so it does happen, and it may not turn out like in "Deep Impact").

I tend to agree with Destiny though - this doesn't seem like a risk worth ensuring for. And ... I definitly agree that something mundane like a gym memberhship is likely to be better investment.
