God dammit. Way to have an educational conversation while I'm not around to participate. Bah! We try so hard. And yeah, it's 1%. But I don't get the 1% part. How is the time being measured? It just says a 1% chance that it does it before the sun explodes in 5 billion years. Is it 1% of a billion years? A million? Is Mercury rolling a 100-sided dice every thousand years waiting for it's chance to strike? yes in fact it is rolling a 100 sided dice. The only problem is that since space is a vacuum the dice never stops so Mercury will never know when to get flung out of orbit! Thus we win! ;D Unless Saturn is feeling like a d*ck and unplugs the vacuum, then the dice will stop. Then there's the 1% chance again. And to make up for lost time, Mercury will roll it 65,000 times in a row. One time every 5 seconds. So we'll have to cheat death every 5 seconds for 90.28 hours for a shot at living peacefully for the next 1,000 years. Good luck! ;D

He'll probably be dead by then. Earth only has a limited number of souls to punch.

no he doesn't die he just moves to the next galaxy in his list of places he needs to save. But he won't leave our galaxy untill the sun blows up into a red giant. He has to keep roundhouse kicking evry couple years or it will stop working. Once it becomes a red giant he won't need to kick it everyday. Thus his work in this galaxy will be done and he'll fly through intergalactic space to the next civilization he has to keep alive. That is his way...
