| Will you see Halley's Comet when it returns? It's possible, though improbable, that I will. |

If I do I will be a centenarian. Halley's Comet last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley\'s_Comet

I missed it in '86; if I make it to the age of 95, I'm totally there! |

If I make it to 96, I ain't wasting time standing out in a field to see another comet. |

Possibly, but I think it's more likely that if I want to see it again I'll have to go to it, |

Nope. I'm 58, and hope to have 20-30 more, not really wanting anything longer. |

I don't remember when it last came by because I was only 3 years old. |

In '86 it was a huge crashing bore, so maybe it will be better next time, but... |
