Halley’s Comet and the Brevity of Life

If you guys are around for another 50 years, you’ll get to see Halley’s Comet.

I was around for the comet’s last visit, but I can’t really say if I ‘saw’ it or not. It’s not something that comes light a flash in the night, it’s more like a star in the night that can be seen over a period of about 2 weeks. All I remember back then was everyone was all excited about the comet, large crowds gathered at the beach and everybody will be pointing to the stars in the night sky saying, “no, no its that one!”, “No lah, I’m sure its THAT one!”

I was reminded of Halley’s Comet when i saw this comic on digg. I’m not sure who drew this comic (please let me know if you do), but i love it. It’s not really about the comet, it’s about how short and fleeting life is in the grand scheme of the universe.
