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 comets trajectory. We got in touch with Nikolai Fedorovsky:
Im 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 were in luck. We will probably partake in one of the greatest events in the history of humankind,

What's 'top speed' for a 'giant comet', anyway?
I dunno about a giant comet but for this one, 85, maybe 90, tops.

You know, I notice there is no estimate on this thing's size. If he can roughly gauge its arrival, why not the size?

Will this comet be even bigger and more spectacular than Kohoutek, the Comet of the Century, back in the early 70s?
That was spectacular, really hugh.
....
The hype, I mean.

I went to one of those sites where you can download little video clips. That commercial was there. The site owner made the annotation that he didn't know if the clip was "real" or not. LOL!
