(See yesterday’s comments. I felt challenged.)
"A meteorite fell Saturday night in the Peruvian area of Puno, close to the border with Bolivia, forming a crater with a 30 meters diamater, and six meters in depth, the local press reported today. A luminous object fell a little before midnight of the day before yesterday in the town of Carancas, in the province of Chucuito, about 1.300 kilometers to the south of Lima. According to sources of the Territorial Direction of the Police, the alarmed inhabitants of the area heard a great noise, similar to that of an airplane falling. Later, the witnesses saw a luminous object in fire in the sky that hit the ground, producing an explosion that left the earth charred. The meteorite didn’t hurt anyone, but the authorities are investigating if the remains found in the area are of animals that may have died because of the explosion. The farmers of the place fear the appearance of some disease, since chips of lead and silver were liberated in the shock of the meteor with the soil, the local broadcasting station “RPP” informed. The member of the National Academy of Sciences, Modesto Montoya, told to the “Andean” state agency that the fall of meteorites in Peru doesn’t present any danger, unless they hit some structure. “None of the several meteorites that fall in Peru and make perforations of varied sizes are harmful for people, unless they fall over a house”, Montoya said. In June, another meteorite fell in the Mascapampa hill, in the province of Arequipa (south), leaving the population alarmed. Curiously the meteorite fell exactly one month after the terrible earthquake that hit Lima on August 15.
Other more dubious stories told of tiny people emerging from the meteor."
The secret word is Scully
NOW… You wanna see the Sears Tower struck by lightning?
Peruvians in the vicinity of the meteorite strike have started reporting a general feeling of nausea, headaches and other symptoms. Martian Flu ?
ReplyDeleteIt could also be that the metorite actually caused the earthquake in some sort of Philip K Dick counter clock world type of scenario (could necver get my head around the regurgitating food bit in that, and don't even mention the toilet).
Of course it could simply be that the fuckin timelines are all fucked up anyway, what with OJ Simpson going on trial, The Pistols and Zep announcing gigs, 3:20 to Yuma in the local flea pit.. someone should call Captain Jack or thet Hira Nackathingy to come and sort it out.
Empty that glass for me barman, I'm gonna puke up another Bud...
Sort it out yourself, Billy-san. I'm busy.
