Russia better get ready. I can already see the hordes of muslims rushing to the site to pray 5 times a day to the rock!

Sagan: We are made of starstuff.

Which is to say, the dust that coalesced to form planets and other debris was blown off a former nova or supernova. Everything is in this neighborhood a former piece of a star.

"Everything is in this neighborhood a former piece of a star."

Yup, I know. I found it amusing the way piece of a star was used in this article.

Stars are hydrogen and helium and just don't "fragment". This is total nonsense.

One of the Siberian gold-diggers, Anna Nicole Smith, said that "suddenly his face turned turquoise, there was a large flash followed by an explosion that produced a sharp whistling sound."

A little while later, Smith and other gold diggers from Midland say they came across an addendum to his will in the middle of a closet where all the other paperwork had burned.

The crater is probably small. An ordinary! car bomb might leave a bigger crater.

LOL. I used to have sub-micron capable comparators for chips that were modeled after the DARPA inspired military comparaters. So....(dagnabit, I want a picture!) Also, I suspect that's how JSTARS works in real time.
