Tsunami on May 25?

That’s the prediction by one Eric Julien. Apparently Eric, through a fortuitous combination of a deep understanding of extraterrestrials, crop circle interpretation and comet fragment tracking, has determined that a large chuck of the comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann is going to crash into the Atlantic Ocean on May 25th, 2006, with rather unfortunate consequences for the east coast of North America and the west coast of Europe.

Supposedly this is a pre-emptive strike by some unfriendly extraterrestrials (are there any other kind?) to insure that Bush the Unhinged doesn’t use nukes on Iran. Not that the ETs care about Iran, they don’t, but apparently the use of nuclear weapons on our planet would somehow endanger our extraterrestrial neighbors and THAT they care about.

One wonders how reducing the earth to radioactive ash would inconvenience anyone (or anything) across the vastness of interstellar space?

Most likely he’s a nut, but just in case he’s right, I think I’ll postpone my next dental appointment from May 22nd to May 26th. I mean, why suffer through a thorough under the gums cleaning if I’m going to be vaporized three days later?
