Comet Dookie is coming to town

Comet Dookie is a normal comet that will pass close to the Earth in about 6 months. The problem is that when it does, it will be shedding a large amount of its mass, which will burn up in the atmosphere. The fragments will be about the size of a baseball, and will be glowing bright green as they burn up. <br><br>We don't expect any of them to make it to the surface, but they will light up the sky in a spectacular display. My office was thinking about it at lunch yesterday, and we decided that we wanted to come up with a common name for the fragments.<br><br>I am leaning pretty heavily towards Dookie Lights, but I decided to throw it out there and see what you had to offer.<br><br>What should we call them?<br><br>Edit: I am blown away by the sheer volume of the responses! Thank you all for contributing. I am going to gather the best together and bring them back to the office to decide on which ones to submit to the official naming contest. <br><br>Please keep them coming, I am not going to stop reading them anytime soon, and I am sure that there are plenty of good ideas that haven't been posted yet. Thank you all again, and I wish you all the best.<br><br>Final Update: Thank you all for your help. I think we have a good list of contenders to send to the contest.<br><br>Per the judges' request, we narrowed it down to five suggestions to submit. We decided to go with:<br><br>Dookie Lights<br>Dookie Dust<br>Dookie Sparks<br>Dookie Embers<br>Dookie Starlight<br><br>I am not sure when they will announce the winner, but I will update you all when I hear. <br><br>Thank you all so very much, and I hope that you enjoyed this little thought experiment as much as I did.
