Women and children hardest hit. Bush's fault.

Looks like a baby nuke hitting or a giant artillery shell.

There's a new crater on the Moon. There's a new one just outside Baqubah, too. About one week old.
Where Zarq's house used to be.

The Moonbats should name the crater the Ann COULTER Crater..

I'd like to thank the architect of this Solor System for putting a large moon in orbit around the only planet with life on it. It takes a beating so that we don't have to.

That speed and size of meteor would have the energy of about 5.5 tons of TNT.

It takes a beating so that we don't have to.Except this particular meteor, by the very fact that it was visible to our telescopes, had to pass us to get to the moon. I believe we've taken a few hits for luna, too.

I have standing $100 bets with a number of people that we will find LIFE (at least microbes) on another planet in this Solar System. Mars leads the pack of contenders with Europa and other icy moons as candidates. Any more takers? BTW, Sir Arthur C. Clarke contends that photos from Mars ALREADY SHOW EVIDENCE OF LIFE! Fascinating subject.

And old Sir Arthur C. Clarke is an authority on extra-terrestial life... why? Because he wrote lots of great science FICTION?
Other life in the solar system there may be, but its going to take a lot more than Arthur C. Clarke seeing the "face" on Mars in a photo to convince most people.

Horseshit. We absorb more meteors intended for the moon than the moon absorbs intended for us.
The Earth is the bigger target/shield, after all.
OTOH, no moon, no tides, no tides, no tidal pools to concentrate chemicals, no concentration of chemical precursors to life, no life.
The Great Architect apparently like to play on the beach as much as the rest of us...

Sir Arthur also invented the geosynchronous satellite.

Clarke is, of course, a bonafide scientist, who invented the geostationary satellite in 1946. He points out that some of the recent Mars photos show what appear to be plant roots and seeds/fruits exposed on the surface. I have seen the photos, which are available online with a search, and they are intriguing but obviously not conclusive evidence of life.
