A french guy is forecasting that one of these comet fragments will hit the earth on May 25, 2006...

Where does one go to surrender to a comet?

What leads you to believe he's not a 'nut job'?

Oh darn, I was hoping it wouldn't come quite this far inland. But, that's ok, I have a kayak, and hurricane supplies. I hope the dog can swim.

"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."

I keep tabs on various "prophetic" claims online as a sort of hobby. It's an interesting look at the zeitgeist, and is sometimes surprising. The various "prophecy people" have been going on about an east coast tsunami for a while now, due to two impacts; this is going back to early last year as far as when the so-called prophecies began to appear. Here's a very recent one, mentioning the comet by name:

I'm making no claims one way or the other about these things. I'm just observing. Make of it what you will.

Positions charted for 1:00 am. They say that 4:00 am on May 9, will be the only observing time when the moon is not in the sky.

Well, some of the characters jumped the buffer from another stack, of course.

I thought the guy was some sort of nut job.

He is a nut job. He claims his alien contacts will only intervene to stop the comet fragments from hitting earth if the Bush administration promises not to use nukes on Iran. The guy is clearly steeped in leftist dogma. Noory asked him why his alien buddies aren't taking action against Iran's threats of nuclear aggression. <--crickets-->

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

uh oh.

I really enjoyed the book, "Day of the Triffids". I also liked the BBC version that aired about 25 years ago.

It was at Christmas this year that I pointed out to my BIL in Indiana that he had three Trifids in his yard posing as trees.

My pleasure, BL. I was out cheap DVD hunting yesterday, and alas didn't find a disk version of the mummies, but did see "When Worlds Collide", a truly beautiful kidney stone of a film. Definitely good for some laughs, and the cinematography is great. My favorite line in the whole thing is, "the fuel gauge is still on a quarter." ;')
