Just goes to show how insignificant we really are in the bigger picture...no matter your political views, your conspiracy laden life or what ever myth you follow......
just think about it...

One of my all time favorite songs... if that's gonna happen I'll be listening to PF while tripping balls until I'm vaporized.
But I'm pretty sure if we get Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to organize a team of drillers on its surface, make a hole deep enough, drops in a nuke, and detonates it before hitting earth then we'll be fine.

I like the way you think.
Bruce and Ben might have some issue with being cryogenically frozen until they are needed though.

The Total Perspective Vortex, in the fictional world of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is allegedly the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected. Located on Frogstar World B, it shows its victim the entire unimaginable infinity of the universe with a very tiny marker that says "You Are Here" which points to a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot.
The machine was originally invented by one Trin Tragula in order to annoy his wife. Because she was forever nagging him for having no sense of proportion, he decided to invent something that would show her what having a sense of proportion really meant. Unfortunately the shock of being placed in the Vortex destroyed her brain, but Trin Tragula's grief was tempered by the knowledge that he had been right and she had been wrong. The Total Perspective Vortex had proved that in an infinite universe the one thing sentient life cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.
The machine produces a virtual reality model of the entire universe by means of the axiom that any piece of matter is affected by all other matter. The Vortex reconstructs the universe through computer processing of a high-resolution scan of a small object. In the words of the Hitchhiker's Guide,
...since every piece of matter in the Universe is in someway affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation - every Galaxy, every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition, and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake.
