They fly in a V to reduce wind resistance.

One end is longer than the other because...

Well yeah, but I had to repeat it for our more challenged readers. I'm accommodating like that. ;)

Yes, but the crows fight and flock at dawn.

Add in this fireball and you get a premeditated program for the destruction of the earth. It's a conspiracy by the racists. :lol:

Fixed it for you. :-)


With all the recent earthquakes, floods and now meteors, I think I'll just cash in my 401K and go to Vegas.

yep, a racist fireball, all right. It's white, isn't it?

TheMercenary 04-15-2010 05:23 PM

I have no idea. I saw one in college back in the 70's and it was bluish green. Others were red.

It WAS a meteor! The weird thing is it didn't look like a streak like you usually see when they fall through the atmosphere.

A small chunk of rock believed to be a fragment from a meteor that burst into a stunning fireball over Wisconsin Wednesday night was discovered by a farmer after it fell on the roof of his shed.
The meteor fragment is peppered with gray, white and reddish minerals, though one side is covered in what scientists called a "fusion crust" – a layer of dark material forged during the meteor's fiery passage into Earth's atmosphere. It weighs just 0.2 ounces (7.5 grams) and is about 2 inches (5 cm) long and less than an inch wide.
