By Toutatis!

So for those of you out of the know, a space-tourist named Toutatis after the "Asterixian" Celtic god is going to be in the area for a couple of days, ready for in a near earth fly-by on November 8th 2008. Get those telescopes out!

There's all sorts of speculation amongst the doomsayers out there that T will hit earth in 2012. Problem or solution? You decide.
