Translation: "You are all going to die from a massive comet strike. There's nothing we can do to stop it. So go ahead and enjoy, in blissful ignorance, the pitifully few days you have remaining."

Chunks of a comet currently splitting into pieces in the night sky will not strike the Earth next month, nor will it spawn killer tsunamis and mass extinctions, NASA officials said Thursday.

Well darn! That means I still am going to have to spend June on the road doing audits.

They give me hope only to snatch it away.

Yes there is something we can do. Have positive thoughts towards each other and don't nuke Iran. Then the Aliens will deflect the comet debris from us. (At least that's what some guy on "Coast-to-Coast" the other night said the Aliens told him to tell us!!)

Ah!

They need to make more "missing earth" crop circles . . . just so everyone gets the message.

In one of the cheesiest sci fi novels I've read, a comet narrowly missed the earth. As we were all breathing a sigh of relief, people in the southern hemisphere started dying of asphixiation. It seems that the comet caused a tidal pull on the atmosphere causing it to draw up over the north pole. After the comet passed, all that air came rushing back at 1000 mph.

These days I think the comet should have been called Monica.

This image was taken on 2006 April 8.11 by Michael Jäger and Gerald Rhemann (Austria), using a 25-cm Schmidt camera and a Starlight SXV-H9 CCD camera. It shows four of the comet's fragments.

It's time to start another rumor. The comet chunks will hit the moon wreaking havoc on Earth's gravity. Any thoughts?

Would they tell us if it was going to happen though?

It won't hit us

HAHAHA!!! If a comet would ever be forecasted to hit the earth, there is NO FLIPPING WAY any government would voluntarily tell the public. Why would they?

Mini-Comets Coming Off Comet SW-3

Image of Fragment B and associated mini-comets. This is a digitally-enhanced zoom-in version of PR Photo 15b/06 to show in a better way some of the smaller fragments. An arrow indicates the fragments that could be seen, including the main one - on top, the two just below that have just split and five others, much dimmer.

Aside from a great sky show, the comet poses no danger to Earth and its inhabitants, NASA officials said.

For pete's sake NASA, I was counting on this as a cover for striking Iran's nuke sites. ;-)
