Display Recent Comments on Static HTML Page

Hello

I am using this code found on this site on my front page to display my 5 latest posts:

<?php
$how_many=5; //How many posts do you want to show
require_once("nikisiou/wp-config.php"); // Change this for your path to wp-config.php file ?>
<ol id="whats-new">
<?
$news=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT <code>ID</code>,<code>post_title</code> FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE <code>post_type</code>=\"post\" AND <code>post_status</code>= \"publish\" ORDER BY 'ID' DESC LIMIT ".$how_many);
foreach($news as $np){
print ("<li><a href=\"");
echo get_permalink($np->ID);
print ("\">$np->post_title</a></li>");
} ?>
</ol>

I would like the same thing with the latest comments.

Anyone feel like coding that ? Thanks in advance =)
