Comets are like cats - they both have tails, and do what they damn well pleaseYes, perhaps something will limp back out from the sun.
But I suspect it's not going to be the "comet of the century, so bright you can see it in daylight, with a tail stretching across half the sky" that people were talking about all year...
Not that I'm surprised, or anything. Astronomy is merely a shorthand for "It's not easy to see from your latitude. And there's a tree in the way. And it wasn't as bright as we expected. And it's cloudy tonight anyway."

Or rather "Fuck me its cold, lets go inside and watch it on the news, and laugh at the journos who don't understand what they're talking about"

Hale-Bopp FTW!My mate's firstborn was whelped while Hale-Bopp was in the sky. I tried to convince them to give the kid "Bopp" as a middle name, but they wouldn't go for it.
Why do comets only come out at night? It's really annoying.

And while we're on the subject, how does the sun know when it's morning? how does the sun know when it's morning?Surely time is a human concept. So how does the sun know it's 7 o'clock and it's time to appear?

And another thing, you know the moon and the stars are only meant to come out at night. you know the moon and the stars are only meant to come out at night. The other day I saw the moon in the daytime!
I'm not making this up. It was broad daylight the moon was clearly visible. It wasn't just me that saw it either.
Someone somewhere must have fucked up.

If we just put the clocks forward in the morning, and back in the evening, we'd have so much more daylight. and back in the evening we'd have so much more daylight.Fucking farmers are spoiling it for everyone.

to be fair in about a month or so it'll come up at about 10am and hide at around 2pm. Maybe less daylight. Oh well, at least there's snow.

Perhaps the sun slows down when it's winter. And Sweden's further away from the sun which won't help.
