If it is a comet strike, then it seems that Ceres is less like a planetoid and more like a giant hunk of comet-like material that's been rounded over time by gravity.

Jupiter, that lunatic planet, simultaneously tries to murder us and rescue us in relation to these Oort Cloud objects striking the Earth. Knowing what we know now, we might have chosen a better name for a fickle classical Roman/Greek diety to represent the largest planet in our Solar System.
Son, I say Son. That not an egg, that there is an egg.
