A french guy is forecasting that one of these comet fragments will hit the earth on May 25, 2006...I think he said into the Atlantic Ocean.

If anything happens, we know it will be Bush's fault!

And scientists expect the brightest comet pieces to be visible through binoculars and possibly, faintly, to the naked eye.

Will these be visible from anywhere on earth, or only in certain places? It sounds pretty cool, I'd like to see it.

Why do you blame our President, you liberal?

Well, Bush is doing nothing about global warming, and that is causing the comet to melt and break up like the Antarctic Ice Sheets!

(It makes about as much sense as the other global warming alarmism...)

I thought the guy was some sort of nut job.

You need to know that up to recently, before I discovered what you have just read on this fragmented comet, I received on April 7, 2006 a telepathic message from extraterrestrial friends. According to them, a méga-tsunami in the Atlantic Ocean I had experienced in a lucid dream three years ago, would occur around MAY 25, 2006. Perhaps two or three days before or after. I have two witnesses who will confirm the chronology of the facts that I describe here, but especially tens of readers on Internet and a deposit of copyright concerning my lucid dream three years earlier.

Looks like something from the Art Bell show.

I saw that!! I was going to post it, but thought better of it. He seems like kind of a loon, plus being that he's French just makes it worse.

I hope that he isn't right...

OK, I'll give you that, but I think we'll pick up two, maybe three, seats in the House.

He was on C2CAM last night. Surprisingly, sNoory asked him directly "Will the parts of this comet hit the Earth on or about May 25th?"

The guy hemmed and hawed, and I fell asleep before I heard his answer.
(That, and I had to DX to WABC, since the local CC station NEVER switches to an active feed after a late night sports event.
Dang keep alive after whatever game. "CBS radio networks channel 4X...beep...")

Good thing! I wouldn't want any of hit to land in Iraq and strike the beloved Ahmadenijad! But, if it happens, it is Allah's will.

Here's a link. I'm too lazy to summarize it, but it will be visible in the northern hemisphere in April and May.
