Comet Elenin: End of Days?
Comets, those occasional wanderers through our solar system, often get people all hot and panicked. Need we remember the arrival of the comet Hale-Bopp, which kicked off the mass suicide at the Heaven's Gate cult?
Heaven's Gate cultists killed themselves because they believed that Nibiru - which is a UFO or a mobile planet or both - was trailing along behind the comet Hale-Bopp, hiding in its brilliant tail. This October, a comet named Elenin will enter our solar system. So I suppose it is not surprising that some people believe that Elenin actually is Nibiru, and that, to coin a phrase, the end of the world is nigh.
