Searching exotic places for exceptional behavior to prove that a rule is not a rule (since you found an exception) is not very convincing. Where are all these nerdy girls, whose existence refutes our prejudices? Why are there almost no female programmers involved in open source projects?

According to http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=131418828705324&w=2 the correct syntax is:

Quoting the fine article: "But there's no chance that the asteroid will hit Earth on this approach, and almost no risk at its next close approach, in 2022. If the asteroid did strike, it would probably explode in the upper atmosphere — a fine spectacle, but harmless."

It's a bit large to merely be cosmic lint, isn't it?
