According to the Russian astronomer Nikolai Fedorovsky, a giant comet flying at top speed is bound for Earth. Should the comet stay on the collision course, it may hit the planet in late October. The impact will cause devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and avalanches, says Fedorovsky. He saw the killer comet in a telescope two weeks ago. He managed to calculate the comet’s trajectory. We got in touch with Nikolai Fedorovsky:
“I’m not trying to scare anybody, I just want to warn the public,” sums up Fedorovsky. “We should pay attention to this suspicious celestial body. We could obtain more accurate calculations if other astronomers join forces. We could also photograph it if we’re in luck. We will probably partake in one of the greatest events in the history of humankind,”

I will search out the description Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle wrote for Lucifer's Hammer and post it on the thread. It was several pages and involved a hot fudge sundae with the cherry being the size of a house and dropped in place by a military helicopter.

Actually, Al Goron has leased the comet for advertising the end of the earth due to Global Warming. He and other rats will not shut their pie holes, and that is causing massive global warming along with their veggie diets.

As long as it hits Mecca, sounds like a good way to end the month.

Oh man. Alison
Michalka is seventeen!
Even if she bought
the "End of the world!"
thing, it just wouldn't be right.
Can somebody ask
the comet to wait
two more years? I mean, nineteen
is almost okay . . .
