Concerning the odds of a collision between Swift-Tuttle and Earth, I heard someone (Duncan Steele?) on the radio talking about the incedible possibility of an impact. According to this person the odds overall were 1 in 10,000 (that's 10,000) that a collision would occur. Astronomically speaking that's a close call, but obviously highly unlikely.
