Interestingly, comets originating in the Kuiper Belt, a cometary source just beyond Neptune, do not disrupt nearly as often as those originating in the Oort cloud.
Comet Elenin originated from the Kuiper Belt by the way.

Hundreds of Comets pass close to the Sun every year without "melting".

Why did Comet Elenin have to be the exception? Its surface area is MASSIVE the fact it is 4 km in diameter, and it was only 0.482 AU from the Sun - a large enough distance to escape the threat of "melting".

Times up my friend, Dr Cox has spoken.
But it's ok, all evidence showing the disintegration of Elenin has been doctored...
Nice cop out.
