like a horrible day-mare, batman!


it’s no surprise when the n.y. post prints shocking news, but reading this was a surprising shock for me:

The meteor — estimated to be about 10 tons — entered the Earth’s atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered into pieces about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement.  story

oy vey!  seriously, who could have known?  the only thing more surprising was that the meteorite didn’t land on east 52nd street.

lets all take a moment to say a prayer for these people –

namaste.
