Ron, you said you'd invest in gold if: Gloom & doom report :) Watch Is On In Earnest For Doomsday Asteroids, Comets By Maggie Fox Health and Science Correspondent 2-24-1 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One got the dinosaurs. Another wiped out the trilobites and just about everything else on Earth. And an asteroid or comet might get us, too, scientists say. That is why dozens of centers are searching the sky for moderate-sized asteroids or comets that might one day collide with the Earth. It appears that every 100 million years or so, something big enough to wipe out nearly all life hits the planet, Chris Chyba of Stanford University in California says. Such impacts bracketed the dinosaur age, scientists now think. This week's issue of the journal Science carries a report suggesting that an asteroid or comet was responsible for the ``mother of all extinctions'' -- the Permian event 250 million years ago that wiped out 90 percent of all marine species and 70 percent of animals and plants on land.
