According to another text, it does not represent any danger until 2412.  December 21 2412, maybe?

No, I really thought you were serious.  You ain't in the habit of making jokes.

I was wondering when the next end of the world date would be. That one seems a bit far in the future....Isn't there meant to be an asteroid (not actually) going to hit us around 2020 or 2030?
