We all know what helped bring down Napoleon's army (lead in cans). Loraine, you pose a likely big contributor, as Egyptians ( and most other cultures in the ancient world in the Mediterranean area) drank copious amounts of wine. Perhaps beer (consumed in ancient Egypt and elsewhere) had high levels of lead too.

2039, Potential 100km asteroid collision with Earth. The chance is small, about 1 in 180,000 I think, but it will get between us and our low orbit communications satelites and you will be able to see it from the ground with the naked eye as it passes, unless it hits that tiny entry window. Then we'll get to see it up close, just before we go extinct.
