I’m hoping for a good comet.

I'm just hoping there isn't the same plague of Apocalyptikook idiots like there was for Comet Elenin.

I'm counting on them. I might just buy stock in Nike.

Exactly. Regarding the kookery, here are the two comments, one with a link.

Let me guess, the conspiracy theorist boys have got it intersecting Earth’s orbit on December 20th.

In fact, trajectory of this comet will not intersect Earth orbit’s trajectory at all, according to this pic:

I am old enough to remember Kohoutek in 1973, and Halley in 1985, plus a few other sky-smudges that were oversold prior to their actual visibility. (Kohoutek was not even visible from North America if I remember correctly). These guys always say it will be visible by day, outshine the moon, etc. Then it turns out to be crap. Just like Obama.
