Sure. Either that or giant Space Bunny-Rabbits from Alpha Centauri.

Amazing how the fairytales just keep changing.

I suspect that choosing the name for a crater responsible for the destruction of the known world (at the time) was a no-brainer.

What do you think is a fairy tale, the fact that meteors impact planets or that dinosaurs are extinct?

I think his LALALALICANTHEARYOU is in response to the idea that dinosaurs were not contemporaneous with more modern lifeforms.

This can’t be right According to many Freepers the Earth is only 6000 years old. I read it on the internet so it’s definitely true.

The supposition that a meteor killed the dinosaurs. It is complete speculation. Next week some esteemed scientist will come up with another one and all the rest will nod their heads and say, "Uh huh. Yup. He's right. True. True."

Science has lost it's way - scared away from rigorously honest investigation and theorizing by political correctness and the fear of funding losses.

I think a super large dinosaur called the Algoreathon caused the mass extinction.

Shiva is an appropriate name.

Some complex craters are among the most productive hydrocarbon sites on the planet.

When these meteors hit they must crush a gazillion dinosaurs at a time to generate that much oil at the impact site.

Thanks decimon. Pinging this one because A) it's bound to be of interest and B) to avoid any duplications (or at least, try to ;').

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Hmmmm.

What if both (Yucatan and Shiva) hit about simultaneously?

Wish they had an approximate age on the crater.
