Formerly, the Sun was the largest object in the Solar System. Now, comet 17P/Holmes holds that distinction

And (correct me if I'm wrong), the Sun claimed the record from Rosie O'Donnell's mouth as the largest object in the Solar System shortly after she left The View.

Seriously...how long before one of these things grazes the Moon, and we finally start making a better effort to track the various comets and asteroids, to determine when we should panic and all start trying to row to Mars?

Far too many to track. I heard a percentage of the currently tracked objects, and it was low, real low. I guess the US gov doesnt feel like it's anyting to worry about, as long as Bruce Willis is alive.

Hmmm... If this was heading towards Earth wouldnt this be an Earth problem, not just a US problem?
