I am seeing a comet TODAY, flying into the sun. There may have been one in March, but then there is ALSO one TODAY.

Wouldn't the sun just gobble this up with no after event? sort of like throwing a boulder in the ocean and expecting tidal waves? :) I wouldn't know as I am not a scientist >.>

Its probably the same thing. But looks like you were ont he wrong track about what it WAS. Here you are definitely saying that it WASN'T sun-bound, which it clearly is.

I still think it will split the sun in half. The Mayans knew all about this, so they gave us a 12-21-2012 as a false date, so we wouldn't get all upset about it :)

maybe but i'm waiting for the sun to emit some flares directly pointed at the comet like last time which changed the comet's path in a way that it wasn't dangerous anymore...
that would finally prove to me that the sun has some kind of "defence system"

Based on the distance and time traveled, when do you think the ETA will be? I would be guessing that the gravitational pull would speed it up?
