Slashdot reports that the odds of MN4 colliding with Earth have been upped again to 1-in-37. For those of you keeping track, over the past 2 weeks the odds have gone from 1-in-233, to 1-in-63, to 1-in-45, and now 1-in-37. And while the odds are still 97.3% against a collisiion, this constant increase is troubling - especially since NASA originally posted that the odds should go the other way within the next month.
