TEHRAN (Reuters) - A meteorite has hit northern Iran causing minor damage to property but there were no immediate reports of casualties, state radio has said.

It said the impact sent locals in panic onto the streets in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.

"A meteorite which hit Babol on Friday morning caused only some minor damage to residential units," radio said, without giving further details or citing any source.

It said the impact was felt up to one kilometre away.

Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

This reminds me of this quote from those famous black-and-white billboards:

"Don't make me come down there." - God

Ishmael, from the Hebrew word meaning God Hears
was the son of Abraham.

Ishmael lived 137 years (Genesis 25:17). He had 12 sons, who became the founders of Ishmaelite tribes that spread from Egypt to what is today Iraq. Many of the modern-day Arab peoples correctly recognize that they are the descendants of Ishmael, while the Jews, and the rest of the Israelites, are descendants of Isaac - but all are descended from Abraham.

That was shortly after the Brit;s got a funny radio message ...
Something like

"England, Mars Base. The Beagle has Londoned.)

Actually, today happens to have been my first extended foray into DU-reading. I read a fascinating list of 40-something Bush Administration "lies".

Wow you've got more guts than me. I've taken a peek a time or two but I can't stay for very long--it's very depressing to know that such ignorance and hate exists in this country especially during such perilous times as these. Mostly I've just read some quotes that other FReepers have posted on this forum. Pretty unbelieveable stuff all of the time!

That's a meteor. I'd be dipped in sh*t if that ain't a meteor! - Jordy Verrill

You're welcome.

About two years ago it became part of our new license plate design. Quite appropriate.
