400 injured by meteorite fall in Russian Urals

[Neil]

Just goes to show how unsafe the solar system is.

So, let's say there's an happy bunch of minors on an asteroid not to far from earth, and this thing that hit Russia scrapes by the mining site instead.  What do you think would have happenned to the mining installations?

Unless it hits them, it's no problem.  Asteroids don't have an atmosphere.

The meteor is now estimated to have been 17 meters across and to have exploded with the force of 500 kilotons.

My ass just exploded with the force of 500 kilotons.  Think it was the Steak-Umms.

Wiff cheese.

At least it wasn't horsemeat.

Sounds like me the other day after I had White Castle.

Everyone knows the Fox thing is fake, right?  Apparently Van Jones wasn't smart enough to figure it out, but hopefully people with half a brain are.

But then they wouldn't be watching Fox, now would they?  Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

A CNN anchor recently asked Bill Nye if the asteroid was connected to global warming. So, no. Journalists (of all political persuasions) are so stupid, you just can't rule anything out until investigating it.

Nearly all journalists are stupid, but only some journalists are also malicious propagandists.

It's pretty easy to mistakes in others and declare them stupid.
