Playing the Odds

Hmm...   (Fair Use)

Many on Planet Earth are playing the odds, hoping to someday beat them.  But odds contain a hefty dose of the unknown.  Playing them could be quite dangerous.

Take Bennu, for instance.  “Ben who?” you ask.  Bennu, the asteroid that might just crush the U. S. Eastern Seaboard within 300 years.

What, me worry?   A current stance of top scientists who estimate the odds of that happening to be a mere “1-in-1,750.”  Do statistics lie?  Best to find out before it’s too late.
