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.

Dean is just sure to mention there's an "interesting theory" about this amazing coincidence that's out there. But Howie does he always know what's "out there"?

"Is there life in any religious relics?"

No. None in religion either.

"For I am the Life, the Truth, and the Way. No man comes to the Father but by me."

LOL. Now that's my idea of a meteorite strike.

"Dear mullahs of Iran: this is Allah. This was a warning for placing politics ahead of helping your own people. To learn where the next ones are going to strike, have a look in the mirror and notice those little red dots on the tops of your heads. These laser scopes I got from the Yanks are cool."

A sign?

Could be.

For those who don't think it is: is there some way to exploit the propaganda value of the earthquake and meteorites as signs?

Your question should have been, "Is there Life in a rock?" And your answer would be your belief.

O.K. I do not believe there is either temporal or eternal life in a rock.
