Earth is getting a complex!
Why do the all the comets avoid it?
Is it B.O., bad breath... ring around the collar?

Chunks of a comet ... will not strike the Earth next month, nor will it spawn killer tsunamis and mass extinctions,
Dangnamit. Now I've got to come up with another plan for my destruction of planet earth.

It's time to start another rumor. The comet chunks will hit the moon wreaking havoc on Earth's gravityWell now that you mention it . . . .I read on spaceweather.com a few days ago that there WERE fragments of something hitting the moon that caused ejecta bright enough to be seen with a telescope . . . . but no gravitational problems . . . . .

Well given NASA's track record of screwing things up spectacularly, don't be surprised if they get this wrong too. If you can't trust FEMA, why trust NASA?

Umm, to give us time to prepare??? For what? Big rocks falling out of the sky is not exactly something you can prepare for. You would have no idea where they would hit or how.
As long as we are stuck on planet earth and not spread out this is the kind of thing that we are vulnerable to. Maybe we dodged the bullet this time, but there will always be a next time.

We get blamed for everything anyway so how about this for a rumor: America has a comet buster. We are making space missiles. Heads up, enemies.
