Ok, wait. No, wait, let me get this straight.
A rather small and fairly insignificant comet what only came to distinction by virtue of being discovered by an amateur astronomer with less mass and gravitational pull than any moon orbiting any planet in our solar system that is still a magnificent distance from us currently that somehow, because it momentarily comes into alignment with a few planets and our own, an occurence that happens all the time and has as long as we've existed, let alone those planets; is responsible for causing earthquakes, events which literally happen daily and always have?
I'm sorry, the class you were looking for was Astro(NOMY), not Astro(LOGY).
It's an easy mistake to make, what with how similar they sound.
You know, the sun itself cycles through periods of low and high activity, is it so hard to believe the planet suffers similar cycles, too. You know, kind of like how the geological record shows.
If you honestly believe a comet that small could really have that kind of influence then you would think that both Haley's and Hale-Bopp, both if which were closer than Elenin is now, you would think those two would have caused massive destruction on their recent paths. Hmm.

Come to think of it
I saw a a video from one of the stereo satellites, and apparently it has been removed off youtube as well. It seemed legit, and it showed a huge object moving through the its optical view. No planets were supposed to be there at that time.
Very strange indeed.edit on 6/7/11 by AzureSky because: (no reason given)

Some scientists say different..According to a pair of University of Louisiana astronomers, writing in the journal Icarus, advanced their recent theory about a new mystery planet in our solar system — and a very, very big one

It's not like it's just people on the net saying these things..scientists are saying it!
The likely reason the story caught fire: a key sentence that read "But scientists now believe the proof of its existence has already been gathered by a NASA space telescope, WISE, and is just waiting to be analysed."
"What we're really saying," he explains, "is that there's suggestive evidence there might be something out there." And if a new planet exists — something Matese is emphatically not claiming at this point — then the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite should already have an image of it stored somewhere in its enormous database.

Between this, Harold camping and October 21, and December 21, 2012, I put money on 2012. I probably won't win anyway but if I had to pick...Maybe I should put money on both counts...
