Are you talking about this story "Prosecutors file eight charges against O.J. Simpson, including kidnapping" that is the banner.

That's what I saw: the fireball. I guess it's just a question of time before the invaders spread across the continent. . . . They look like bugs. They'll march under a banner that says, "Thank you, George; we'll take it from here. . . . "

Blame it on Fred.

That's weird. The link numbers I see are completely different, 20838944 for the meteorite, 20829890 for O.J. Wazzup widdat?

Do I smell a set up here?

Also Tuesday, a judge gave Fred Goldman a week to come up with a list of items Simpson is accused of stealing, but he refused to order Simpson to hand over his earnings from everything from autograph signings to video games.

Maybe O.J. is also guilty of causing the meteorite to strike Peru?

All I got was a request for me to take a survey. Weird. Maybe you can find another source, Blac, that one seems to be playing games with the address.

after I said no to the survey, it took me straight to the meteor story- ichy eyes, throat, and all.

Villagers fall ill after fireball hits Peru
Radio reports that fumes from meteorite crater have sickened 600

A fireball fell from the sky and slammed into southern Peru over the weekend, creating a huge crater that emitted a sickeningly smelly gas, local authorities said. More than 600 villagers fell ill, the Peruvian radio network RPP reported Tuesday.

Video reports from the scene, near the remote Andean village of Carancas along Peru's border with Bolivia, showed what appeared to be a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide), 20-foot-deep (6-meter-deep) impact crater with a bubbling pool of water at the bottom.

Authorities said that the crater was made Saturday by a falling meteorite. Agence France Presse quoted a local official, Marco Limache, as saying that "boiling water started coming out of the crater, and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby."

I don't know what the military needs to do that for. Surely it has all the data it needs from the days when it supported Hussein and his dry runs.

americans need to kill brown people. lots of brown people.

Oh. You know? I hadn't thought of that. And you know, they are obvious there. None of those robes and veils and stuff. . . .

Well at least wait until the crop comes in. Okay?

Hey blac, I already started a thread about this in office party - but since I wasn't using the story to start up a political debate perhaps the mods don't care....<shrugs>

Well, I suppose it would make sense that a large mass of metallic ore that had been heated to intense temperatures (upon entering the atmosphere) would give off some toxic fumes.

It's the Andromeda Strain, I tell ya.

Either cry like a baby or drink yourself silly, it's the only way to keep from turning to dust.

Darn it, I wasn't planning on having a drink tonight, now I have to drink a few. Oh, well, roll with the celestial punches, I say. Bottoms up.
