How about this, maybe it consists of frozen methane (gas, ah, asteroid?).
Then we just put a match to it and voila.

The worlds biggest fart is a fact :)

That would leave some scorch marks on the haemorrhoid's asteroids undies!!!

Yes; it is very sad. It has the potential to destroy the United States as a superpower.

There was an interview with Rusty Schweickart on the Skeptics Guide to the Universe episode 199 where they discuss this issue. It is well worth a listen, as it clarifies many points about sizes and numbers of meteors that may be on an orbit that intersects the earth's.
