Giant comet may collide with Earth late October

Pravda ^ | October 6, 2006

[tlb]

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,”

Has to be frustrating to get good polls just before the world ends.

Whatever it takes to stop the dims from gaining control of the house, if it means we collide with comet causing cataclysmic destruction then so be it!

[Enterprise]

Bush's fault. And, may I add, "Women and Minorities Hardest Hit."

[Paleo Conservative]

Bush's fault!

[BulletBobCo]

Calling Bruce Willis.

[ModelBreaker]

LOL. Recommend folks look at the graphics in the article. It's real Enquirer stuff.

[conservativepoet]

I suggest we take this to the UN via France and see just what can be done...cough...cough...cough

[aft_lizard]

Maybe it could hit Mecca or San Francisco?

[Brett66]

Paging George Noory........

[LukeL]

We'll also need to call up some washed up rock stars to write a killer ballad to get him in the mood to sacrafice his life.

[JRios1968]

IBTRYMBP!!!

[A message]

Figures.

I'm one payment away from paying off the car and I'm about to pay off many other bills and the world ends.

Sorry folks.

[okstate]

The Pravda is still alive and well, I see.

[GOP_Raider]

“We shouldn’t underestimate the threat poised by asteroid and comets,”

Is translating from Russian to English that hard? If I hadn't known any better, I thought the author went to American public schools.

...a giant comet flying at top speed is bound for Earth...

What's 'top speed' for a 'giant comet', anyway?

Gulp!

"What's 'top speed' for a 'giant comet', anyway?"

Generally, it's when it pegs red in fifth gear.

Karl Rove's October Surprise..

Damn! I knew Rove had something up his sleeve!

[Lauren BaRecall]

Yeah, really!

[AntiGuv]

Probably about 80 km/sec. FWIW. ;^)

[FlingWingFlyer]

So does this mean we don't have to worry about "global warming" anymore?

[Shelayne]

Hmmm...Is this Karl Rove's October Surprise? Getting a little bored with the weather machine, is he?

Perhaps I should have whispered that. DUmmies may be lurking. ;^)

[Rockitz]

Calling Bruce Willis.

He died in Armageddon. Calling Ben Affleck.

[Hoodat]

Bush's fault.

[Enterprise]

I heard that they named the comet "Katrina."

[BulletBobCo]

Karl: Sir, I'm retired navy, I know all about classified. But one more thing. The person who finds her gets to name her right?
Dan: Yes, yes that's right, that's right.
Karl: I wanna name her Dottie after my wife. She's a vicious life-sucking bitch from which there is no escape.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the same guy who told us that we were going to get hit sometime in May of this year with the same space rock?

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is fishy. I generally hear that a trajectory for an object that far out can't be calculated that finely. It would be more like "it has some small chance of coming somewhere within the circle of the earth's orbit."

[verum ago]

time to start looting?

[LegalEagle61]

If we can get the exact time and location of where this comet would hit, we could get rid of all the liberals in one shot by telling them that at that particular time and location Bill Clintoon is throwing a Bash Bush Party with free beer and snackies for all. I am sure a huge crowd would form.

[Tammy8]

What? Why weren't we warned earlier about this?

Wait, wasn't the world supposed to have ended in August? I bet that is the reason the powers that be felt it was not necessary to tell us about the comet.

[no dems]

At least it will happen before Nancy Pelosi is handed the Speaker's gavel.

[DemforBush]

You go ahead and call Ben - I'm calling Catherine Mary Stewart! :)

[petertare]

Would it be reasonable to assume a government big budget program already exists to address this?

Could Congress be recalled to spin something up, rig those Haliburton voting machines or at least look the other way while making official announcements of new study plans?

At least move the election up so the democraps can claim victory for a day, before the finaly tally comes in (along with the jumbocomet).

[Rockitz]

Karl: Sir, I'm retired navy, I know all about classified. But one more thing. The person who finds her gets to name her right? Dan: Yes, yes that's right, that's right. Karl: I wanna name her Dottie after my wife. She's a vicious life-sucking bitch from which there is no escape.

Best dialogue of the movie....

[ThomasThomas]

Now this would be an October surprise that might chage elections.

Look how many sites are writing about a Comet found by Russian Scientist Fedorovsky

 

The celestial body threatens the Earth

Sensational information about the future collision of gigantic meteorite with the Earth appeared on Russian scientific Nikolai fedorovskiy's site. Could not be been connected with the scientist; however, to eat hope, which to soon learn all details about the future catastrophe will be from "first of mouths". For the present there is an information about the fact that the incandescent cosmic body approaches to the Earth with the improbable speed. The distance between our planet and object swiftly is decreased. It is so swift that the scientist calls precise time and even point of rendezvous - on 28 October, the western part of Russia, supposedly the environment of Moscow.

 

To the earth dvizhetsya enormous comet! Russian scientist- astronomer Nikolai fedorovskiy made a sensational discovery.

According to his calculations and observations, the Earth approaches the mega-comet, which will fall at the end of October, they report detail. "about the tunguska meteorite also no one nothing knew, and then it satisfactorily fell in Siberia", writes Nikolai fedorovskiy. Scientist revealed object at the end of August, he was moved along the paraboloid trajectory with the suspiciously high speed. The approximate calculated of speed showed that the celestial body pretends as the minimum to the asteroid. Nikolai fedorovskiy was connected with the Kiev observatory; however, there they did not confirm and did not refute the fact of the approximation of asteroid to the Earth.

 

At the end of October to the earth will fall gigantic comet? Scientists keep silent.

"almost no one knows that the comets of different coarseness regularly are passed at the minimum distance from the Earth. They pass as those not noticed - little whether what trifle flies around the planet. To take at least Shvassmanna-Vakhmanna in 95 year ", notes Fedorov. Details

Babel Fish Translation Tool

Stoat comment:

As usual, Babelfish translations remind us of how very complex language is and how difficult it is for software to grasp it coherently   :-)

 

[radiohead]

Whatever it takes to stop the dims from gaining control of the house, if it means we collide with comet causing cataclysmic destruction then so be it!

LOL!! I like the way you think!

[T.L.Sink]

Is Izvestia still around?

[denydenydeny]

“I’m not trying to scare anybody,"

LOL! Not much.

Still true today: "There is no truth in Pravda, and there is no news in Izvestiya."

[Rightfootforward]

In other news, Donald Duck entered a treatment center and the Ides of March have moved to November.

[skr]

Apparently all of the other astronomers haven't been paying attention for quite a while. Or this one has the only working telescope.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Bet Noory will be on the story tonight.. LOL!

[Allegra]

Wait...didn't we just go through all of this "End of the World" stuff in August?

I mean the "End of the World" parties were lots of fun and all, but isn't it a little too soon to do this again? Even New year's Eve only comes...well, once a year.

[MarMema]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the same guy who told us that we were going to get hit sometime in May of this year with the same space rock?

Just what I was thinking...

[Just Lori]

How did Rove pull THIS off?
