LOL I saw the video on Fox this morning after watching a show on Discover last night about Mammoths and a comet hitting the earth 13k years ago, and at the end the supposition was maybe this was much more common than we thought....
From "Darwin's Ghost" by Steve Jones. page 218 ...
A trillion comets orbit the sun. The gravel that surrounds them appears, should it hit our atmosphere, as a shower of meteors. The Earth gains a ton in weight every hour from their dust. Two thousand asteroids big enough to destroy civilization orbit nearby.
