Dude thats bullshit. I've read probably 20 different stories of shit just like this. Kinda like the one that said in the year 2000 when the new millenium hits we will all be without power or something like that. Its just trying to stir shit up.

Yup, but it only takes one time for it to matter. Your response reminds me of the people in New Orleans before Katrina. I work with about 15 hotels in east Texas. Every time a hurricane came close to New Orleans, all our hotels would fill with people from N.O. Still, plenty of people stayed each time with the "It won't hit us, they've said this 20 times before" attitude. Then the big one hit and the people with your attitude were screwed. It could happen. -
we'll have the technology by then to blow one up.

Hollywood notwithstanding, that's a feat far beyond any current human technology. The fanciful mission in the 1998 movie Armageddon -- to drill a hole more than 800 ft. into an asteroid and detonate a nuclear bomb inside it -- is about as technically feasible as time travel. In reality, after April 13, 2029, there would be little we could do but plot the precise impact point and start evacuating people.
This is a little more realistic than Y2K too. Y2K was a guess, this is a known comet with a known orbit and plenty of computer projections putting it on this path.

From what i had read NASA is still gathering data on its course and wont know for sure till it passes the earth on its next orbit. There were many options to move it just enough to get it to miss. None of them had anthing to do with blowing it up though.

Either way, there is little that I can personally do to change the outcome of this comets path so rather than worry about it constantly, I plan to live my life like I always have.
