All those who missed the opportunity to escape Earth's lunacy on the comet Hale-Bopp: please remember to mark this date on your calendars.
Actually, it was media lunacy. They glommed on to the most extreme speculations about Hale-Bopp's expected behavior and then hyped it like it was scientific gospel. Cooler heads found Hale-Bopp to be pretty dang spectacular as it was!
