  It has been an absolutely CRAZY day here in the UK since this story =
broke early this morning. I swear every radio and TV news programme has =
featured a "Doomsday Approacheth!" piece, accompanied by comments from =
"an astronomer" or "space expert", who without fail tried desperately to =
reassure the viewers or listeners that the scare was just that, a scare, =
and that in a few days time it would be shown to have been a false =
alarm... only for the presenter to wade back in with a closing comment =
about the end of the world, and civilisation, being nigh...=20

  And I thought DEEP IMPACT was over the top, sheesh...!!!
