February 17, 201313 yr Active Members Is it weird of me to find these potentially catastrophic events thrilling? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xfA2hcf7k7c?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
February 17, 201313 yr Glad that it didn't do a lot of damage... After watching it, the beginning scene of Armagedone was pretty incorrect, I've realized... No shattered glasses and etc...
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members 2,000 people injured and a few million dollars worth of damage seems to be more than a fender bender to me. I like bad weather, does that make me weird? Best regards, RA1
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members Why do these meteors always explode over Russia? Because it is fucking HUGE. 1.8 times the size of the US, probably well over 3x if you didn't count Alaska.
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members Very simple. Because of the rotation of the earth, the extant magnetic field and because the aliens wanted to "hit Russia". Best regards, RA1
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members It is bizarre to me how many people in Russia (seemingly ALL of them) have dash cameras. Then again, given the footage I've seen from Russian dash cams it's pretty understandable.
February 17, 201313 yr After all the dash-cam-captured meteorite footage, I read several pieces (of course can't find any of them now) about everyone has them to protect themselves from thuggery by Russian police. One Russian man was quoted as saying, "They will pull you over before they have even thought of a reason to." Their objectives of course being bribery, thuggishness or both. Apparently if they see you have a dash cam, you are much more likely to be left alone.
February 17, 201313 yr because the aliens wanted to "hit Russia". I saw a report somewhere that an extremist Russian pol (apparent there can be extremists even by Putinesque standards) was claiming the thing was actually a hit engineered by the U.S.
February 17, 201313 yr Why do these meteors always explode over Russia?Well, "always" is a relative term. OK, they had Tunguska in 1908, and now this. But some scientist said one just like this, or one close to its size, strikes Earth more or less daily. Just that, with 71% of the planet's surface covered by saltwater ocean, most fortunately fall there unobserved.

Our US criminals are eager to star in videos of bribery and thuggishness or so it seems. Or, is that only the pols? Best regards, RA1
February 17, 201313 yr Now we know what caused the engine fire on the Carnival Triumph. Best regards, RA1 Aha! You should sell that theory to Carnival's lawyers.
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members I heard that it wasn't really a meteorite, Just someone farting on a plane.
February 17, 201313 yr Active Members Aha! You should sell that theory to Carnival's lawyers. I would but they are all busy down at the gulag. Best regards, RA1

February 27, 201313 yr It is bizarre to me how many people in Russia (seemingly ALL of them) have dash cameras. Then again, given the footage I've seen from Russian dash cams it's pretty understandable. I was thinking the same thing, JK. Wonder why they all need dash cams? What's the attraction. My dash cam would have recordings of me going back and forth to work every day with the occasional Starbucks run. Pretty boring.
