WWTBAM Bored

A meterorite the size of a bus exploded over the Ural Mountains today. The sonic boom was powerful enough that flying glass and debris may have injured as many as 1,000 people.

Reportedly, there is video all over YouTube. --Bob

I seriously hope this wasn't the "asteroid that will be close but will miss the earth" I've been hearing about lately. Yes, I know a meteorite & an asteroid are not the same thing, but am not so sure the news people reporting know this.

lol - perfect. But was he aiming at the Urals, or did his meteorite go astray?

I think ES is taking the Coriolis effect into consideration.... or, well, he did flunk geography....

Did they find an infant near the scene of the explosion who was wrapped up in a red and blue blanket and was mysteriously unharmed?

Annie always said that ES had terrible aim with those apples.

Are you suggesting that perhap it wasn't a meteorite that exploded

Perhaps....

I also know it doesn't become an appleite until it hits the ground....

I vote for Marley's subject line since he mentioned Tunguska.

I'm guessing Tunguska was lost on most people though. It was on me.... which is why I went straight to the thread that said "meteorite", as I again think most people did.

Whine overruled....

Ooooh, once again we see the power of the secret Bored clique at work!

More to the point, Snaxx's vote for my thread lost any influence it might have had, when he chose to post it in this one, instead.
