Nearly.
...or maybe just some islands in the Pacific.

Later today, an asteroid called 2014 RC will pass by the Earth, flying 25,000 miles over New Zealand as it makes its way through space.
While that's far enough away to pose no direct threat to Earth, we shouldn't simply brush it off. It was, after all, an asteroid that supposedly killed off the dinosaurs some 65m years ago, and they were a much sturdier species than us. Had there been a slight diversion in 2014 RC's path we might be in a very different situation right now.
The BIG QUESTION:
Would we really miss New Zealand?
What have they ever done for us?

They perform an essential service, making Australians seem almost normal.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Enough of the cons. Here's the pro that trumps them all: If the asteroid hits we no longer need to put up with Devogue.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
