One astroid, no matter how big it is, will not completely wipe out mankind.

Earth is round, and nothing could hit the entire surface all at once. No matter how big the astroid is, a relatively VERY small surface will be hit. Like so:

Edit: I have a picture describing this, but I made it with MSpaint, and I cant convert it to .jpg and if I change it to jpg, and open it with IE, then its just a red x. How can I change it?
I have win2k.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which makes me wonder, how could one astroid have wiped out dinosaurs millions of years ago, unless they were all concentrated in one small spot?
