Holy Russian Meteor Explosion

Russian meteor blast injures at least 1,000 people, authorities say

Moscow (CNN) — A meteor streaked through the skies above Russia’s Urals region Friday (2/15) morning before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 people hurt, authorities said.

Described by NASA as a “tiny asteroid,” the meteor’s explosion created a blast in central Russia equivalent to 300,000 tons of TNT, the space agency’s officials said Friday, adding that the incident was a once-in-100-years event.

I wonder if this meteor is related to that asteroid that flew by on 2/15. The heaven’s are starting to rain down upon us.

From Slaughter House-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

"Derby described the incredible artificial weather that Earthlings sometime create for other Earthlings when they don't want those other Earthlings to inhabit Earth anymore. Shells were bursting in the treetops with terrific bangs, he said, showering down knives and needles and razor blades. Little lumps of lead in copper jackets were crisscrossing the woods under the shellbursts, zipping along much faster than sound."

Being fucked it seems is a little like the piles; the human condition.

Heebee geebee.. It'd be scary enough to have something more or less innocent from outerspace come hurling through the sky but I couldn't imagine something man-made hurling with the sole purpose of killing me screaming over head.

Also from Vonnegut's "Slaughterouse-Five":

"The visitor from outer space made a serious study of Christianity, to learn, if he could, why Christians found it so easy to be cruel."

"But the gospels actually taught this: Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn't well connected. So it goes."
