What's faster than a speeding superman and more powerful than 10k atom bombs?
More importantly, what happened when it slammed into the earth?
Go read, and find out. (Hint: It invloves King Tutankamun.)
Observations:
1) Mommy!
2) Seems to me that this could have very well CREATED the Sahara (and in the too-much-info dept, I have to say that 'Sahara' in Arabic in my mind everytime I say it out loud - it just sounds soo much cooler: is Saaharaa (the desert - so yes, 'Sahara desert' is a tautology... ))
3) Um... seems like that one of these thumping the earth, or even something 'pidly' like the Tungusa event of 1908 would raise the ambient temperature of the earth for QUITE a while.
UPDATE: Ooohh! Ohhh Oooooh! there's a video simulation link at the bottom of that page.
Well... Since these things only seem to hit in the desert or in largely unpopulated wilderness, seems like us city dwellers should be pretty safe. ;)
