Satellite Bingo

[Jive Turkey]

Pick a square on the globe bound by 2 degrees of latitude and 2 degrees of longitude (in 15 degree increments and not everyone can chose the area around Friggin Cobbler's house). If the largest part of the satellite crashes into your square, you win! (If it lands on Friggin Cobbler's house, we all win!). In the event it lands in an unpicked area, closest to the pin wins. You can't choose the same coordinates as someone else.

Go

I'm still deciding

 

[Jive Turkey]

I think I'm gonna win!

 

[Danny Boy]

Is there a Google map or something we can place a pin on?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Not sure. I'll have a look

 

[Danny Boy]

Something like this?

Pin in the map - mark a spot; attach text; send to others

I dropped a pin.

 

[cobl04]

As long as it doesn't land on a JB HiFi

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I hope it lands on the next GOP debate.

Or Kanye West.

 

[Axver]

I hope it lands on the Collingwood Football Club.

 

[cobl04]

I might track its coordinates, then organise for all the Australian hip hop artists to perform in one place.

I know where cobbler lives, can I pick his house, please please please please?

Or if not Cobbler, then does anyone know where Rivers Cuomo lives? I'll pick his house instead.

 

[cobl04]

Holy shit you do too, like my exact address that's funny.

[mobvok]

The Chantilly elite are ruining this country

best thing i could find for the tea party headquarters

Latest from NASA is that it will be "landing" some time tonight, they apparently can only predict with 10% accuracy

The odds of getting hit by debris are 1 in 3200

 

[Reggo]

So there's still a chance Cobbler's gonna get wanged in the head with some of it.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

"wanged in the head"?

 

[Jive Turkey]

The odds of getting hit by debris are 1 in 3200

I heard a guy claim his on the radio too, but I'm pretty sure they're misunderstanding as a 1 in 3200 chance of getting hit makes no sense. It's a 1 in 3200 chance that someone might get hit. There are 7 billion people in the world, so your chance of getting hit are 1 in 3200x7000000000

That was the explanation I got, but most people seem to be seeing the 1 in 3200 bit and running with it.

Way to ruin my fear mongering

The Pacific Ocean

Paul McGuinness.

His odds are 5 in 3200x7000000000.

 

[Axver]

After last night, Australia more than ever needs my pick of the Collingwood Football Club to be correct.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Apparently it's in the pacific ocean somewhere. I'm too lazy to look back, but I think Mobvok said something about the Pacific Ocean first, so he wins the date with Tad Hamilton. Congratulations Mobvok!

Compare and contrast though, it's really not that far off:

my spot
NASA's best guess

it looks like had someone only put down Friggin' Cobbler's house.....

 

[cobl04]

I'm still alive you mother fuckers!
