May 2004 ?

I keep hearing 'rumours' of something occurring about comets in May
of 2004. But what is it that is supposed to happen? Are multiple
comets to appear, or is this the Mayan theory of world destruction or
is there a close encounter of asteroids coming? Anyone else hearing
these little mentions of May 2004? Clue me in ?

Comets 2001 Q4 (NEAT) and 2002 T7 (LINEAR) bear watching, but may yet
fizzle.

Hi:
These two comets that are going to brightest around May 15. No
chance of a collision with them unless something else knocks them into
our path. Should be "Naked Eye" comets at least. T7 is getting
brighter rapidly, even now! Q4 is apparently coming from the south
where the States can't see it yet. I don't know where T7 is.. Lot's
of places on the web to find out though. May be viewable with a
telescope.
Take Care!

2 bright comets. but...
T7 should be too close to the sun to view.
Q4 should be great. evening naked eye for northern hemisphere.
