It'll be great if it does end up that bright. Though it's often hard to predict how bright or spectacular a comet will be when it finally arrives.

the more important question is how many threads in the inters are going to predict the end off the earth , not even Galileo would be able to figure that out .

Well some have drawn parallels between this and earlier comets that "brought" death and destruction with them, eg black death came just after a comet.

well I hope to see both comet and the end of 2013 , new bird flu strain jumping people to people might be a bit of a bummer come winter 2014 . Isolated houses might be all the fashion soon .

Yes every time comet has hit in our history some form of plague seemed to follow.

ooops, just read the entire article and saw this quote

NOTE that it is always dangerous to look directly at the Sun. Do not use telescopes or binoculars to search for the comet, just your unaided eyes and block the Sun with a post or other convenient object. Take extreme care!

Best not be looking with a telescope blushing
