I'd have to read more; I want to know why they think this impact occurred 250 million years ago. Still, it's cool that they found a really big impact structure in Antarctica.

Bush's fault. I don't know how, but he's behind it.

Two days after the impact, Nancy Pelosi toured the devastated area and derided the administration for lack of leadership.

Gravity fluctuations beneath East Antarctica measured by GRACE satellite. Denser regions appear more red; the location of the Wilkes Land crater is circled (above center). Credit: Ohio State University

Now that's a big bang! If only there was one 1/8 that size heading for Iran! Probably still too big to just limit damage to that wonderful Islamic paradise!!

The Boxing Day earthquake-tsunami changed time on earth by a second...one wonders if the impact knocked earth off its axis?

LOL.
"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train a shapeless congerie of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."

Jeez - imagine the energy released from a 30 miles wide rock hitting the Earth. Amazing that anything survived.

Very cool they found it. Jeez... 250 million years ago... You've got to wonder what earlier mass wipeouts occurred. There must've been many.
