Nobody knows the real significance associated with the changing of the Ages. Somewhere around 2150 we'll be shuttled out of the Age of Pisces and pushed into the Age of Aquarius. The world around us may change significantly. Or it could very well be all ado about nothing.

We do know one thing. Right around that time, either the earth or the moon will be struck by a comet.

Would it be ironic if an attempt at irony referencing irony came true?

No, that's the recipe for religion

I'm confused. Does that mean we're supposed to worship the mice, Kal, the comet, or DA?

The mice, of course. Of course if the volgons have anything to say about it...

The effect of a comet collision would be great, but it would be relatively local - this because a good deal of the comet would break up as it pierced our atmosphere. An asteroid anywhere near the size of the comet would be globally devastating however.

Actually the opposite is true. The total impact energy would be about the same, but it would be spread over more area. As you know from nuclear weapons, many small impacts are far more devastating than one big one. (Also, the atmosphere would play almost no role in its breakup as it's diameter (31km) is far larger than than the denser parts of our atmosphere. It's tail end would still be sticking out while the front end was touching the surface. More likely to break up an probably loosely-bound object like a comet is tidal forces.)
