Just in time for Christmas shopping

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,” adds he. "

OK. Let me get this right...Nikolai doesn't want to scare anybody....but we might get lucky and get a picture of it before it blows most of us mortals to kingdom come? {sigh}
This is what gives us conspiracy advocates a bad, bad name.
On the plus side, if it happens ,I guess we won't have to worry about buying new carpeting for the den....
