So then, can you explain why Comet West, Comet Schwasmann-Wachmann, and others have broken up as they approached the Sun? Elenin is not the first example we have of a comet breaking up, so if you have a problem with it breaking up you also have a problem with a number of other comets.

there are so many things i'd like to point out are wrong but let me start by saying since when was nibiru ever theorised to be a comet? it was a planet last I heard, then brown dwarf, then I stopped listening to people on the subject online and am waiting for 2012 or whatever. its not visible so, maybe it will be a black hole next. in before if you will.
and uh, the electric universe theory explains comets and why ice has absolutely nothing to do with anything. magnetic fields extend in all directions in space, and comets exhibit a massive field known as the coma, which is better explained by plasma than ice, prove me wrong, everything in space is 'its ice' and i'm not seeing proof to back that up, even spectrographs disagree, elenin is made of hydrogen cyanide amongst other things, not exactly frozen water.

You do realize that other substance other than water can be frozen right? Comets are composed of a number of frozen inert substances, including water. After the Deep Impact mission one astronomer even compared the makeup of the outer layer of a comet to a snow bank.

We absolutely know that comets are made of rock, dust, ice, frozen CO2, CO, CH4, and NH3.
All these things have been proven with spectroscopy.

Comets are about 50 percent water by weight.

The "dirty snowball" metaphor is used because it's easy for the layman to grasp as opposed to giving them the names of a bunch of chemicals and telling them to picture them frozen. Do you have a similar reaction when someone refers to short term or long term memory? I ask because that's pretty much the same situation. The Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory has been outdated for decades, but it's easier to teach to the layman. Once you actually go in to the field you learn the correct models right away and your research is based off of these models, not the outdated ones.

I will take solid science any day over foolish theories based on delusion.
These tools you are using to develop your stupid theories were developed by people who are scientists.
How ironic is that for ya.

Wow!
Since Nibiru does not exist your question makes less sense than mine.edit on 9/13/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)
You premise is based upon the fallacy that Nibiru does not exist.
Please provide proof that it does not exist.
Also, please provide names of comets that have broken up that you claim to have studied...
