According to the Earth's motion around the sun, the density of asteroids contained within the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the estimated concentration of comets in the Oort cloud, and heavenly bodies outside our solar system, for such a body to come along and be captured by earth's gravitational field, and further for sucb an asteroid to to have the proper angle of incidence and velocity and mass such that it neither ricochets off the Earth's atmosphere nor burns up due to the viscosity of the atmosphere (friction), and for this event to occur within the next 24-hour period...

I estimate the odds of an asteroid strike to be approximately:

10,237,829,546.3 to 1 (give or take a hundred million or so)

I'm glad your not a gambling man, Hank.

Now, how about the odds of PRLN getting new managment and holding their shareholders meeting and announcing this. It it difficult to assess all the factors, but I would say about about 1 to 1, not too bad. Certainly better than that asteroid thing. The real question what are the odds of getting AndroVir and/or AndroCar launched by Sept? Probably tied to the first question. Any estimations out there?
