Live Webcast of Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy and tomorrow an Object on a Collision Course with Earth!
Well, that's what this guy claims anyway, and for once someone has orbital elements that at least show an earth impact:
Thread: You all are a bunch of goofy little freaks but you all are good news hounds, so I'm giving you this little tidbit
The impact date is April 1st, 2015. Cute. The AC who posted the thread now admits its a hoax and says I don't need to observe it, but you just can't take something like that back. So I'm going to observe it tonight after sunset! The position currently predicted by the orbit is RA: 22h23m DEC:-10°04' in the constellation Aquarius. It sets fairly quickly after dark so it will be priority 1 for observing in about 1.5 hours. After that we will observe comet Lovejoy. I'm aiming to start the webcast around an hour and a half from now, I'm going to start setting up the telescope now. I'll post the link once the webcast is ready to go live.

Skies have finally cleared for the most part, going live ina few minutes:

He said he would post the "link" once the "weather" has passed, but judging by that photo he posted I doubt we'll be seeing any real evidence soon enough..
