Missy, Eric, and Henry would have been loved by Mark Twain, who was born under the name Samuel Clemens and under the comet Halley. Mr. Twain prophesied that he would also die under the comet Halley. He was right. He's always right.

EDIT July 26th 12:08 AM: The Editors would like to correct a mistake. Alan Hale, in fact, viewed Comet Hale-Bopp from the great state of New Mexico, not Arizona as stated in the video.
