Even if it did hit, it wouldn't be a world killer, a lot of it would still burn up in the atmosphere, and it would most likely hit in an ocean somewhere because most of the Earth's surface area is ocean.

In the small chance that it did hit land at high velocity, it would probably take out an area of 100-500km, and perhaps cause some issues in the surrounding area. Most of the surface area of the Earth's land isn't populated anyways.

If it hit in a major city, it would be a pretty big killer.

But to be honest with you, I think there is something coming long before that which is going to wipe man off the face of the Earth.

A 400 foot wide asteroid is hardly a threat. Maybe to someones house or a small town? lol.

Not at all.

I suspect I would still be required to go to school

The year 2040 though? Right now the year is 2012.

That can only mean one of two things: 1. Either you are planning to become a School teacher. 2. Or you are just plain stupid and you need to repeat every single grade 3 times in your School career.
