Hi Ron -

I'd go with option B: "Or did a hodge-podge of mini-comets come together to form the core for a comet of substance?"

Before he makes a complete fool of himself, somebody there at JPL needs to tell Don Yeomans that during the last centurythere was one sizable asteroid impact at Sikhote Alin, but three comet fragmnt impacts: Tunguska, Rio Curaca, and Rupunini.

These continued bogus impact hazardd estimates may make Ed Weiler happy, and I know he cuts your paychecks, but they are not doing anyone else much good otherwise.
