So, when is the next comet going to be named "WORMWOOD?".....

might not be a comet

Probably never as the scientist would view this as lending credibility to the Bible. Just know this...if it lands in the world's fresh water supply and poisons it...THAT'S "Wormwood", despite any other name that its called.

Isn't it a planet?

good point

I've never read up on the whole Wormwood thing.

But no scientist would name an asteroid or comet that.

nope

it will not be called wormwood

it will be au-i-004

or

a Iranian missile gone bad

or

a Russian missile gone bad


or


any nuke missile gone bad



ice

LOL...there's already an asteroid named Apophis. If you google that, you'll find it's the same as Abaddon in Greek.

After Chernobyl, people were saying the Chernobyl is Wormwood in Ukranian. So, maybe Wormwood is nuclear war/contamination.
