22lb Ice Blocks From the Sky

cavedwler writes "An article http://www.msnbc.com/news/814100.asp?0dm=-23ET over on MSNBC has an interesting writeup about large ice blocks forming in the upper atmosphere on CLEAR days. Pretty interesting read." The article talks about how this could be a harbinger of massive climactic change. Either way, I'd prefer to not have one of these things smack into my house.

    What did the farmer think when the ice landed in his lettuce field?

    Iceberg lettuce.

    It's a good thing that it wasn't airplane toilet water. (Used)

    After all, you would want someone to be dropping Icy BMs on Europe, would you?

    Yes, it was used in one of Spider's Calahan stories [Or maybe a Lady Sally one]. It's people like him that cause good pun shortages, and we have to get by on stupid Xanth level stuff. Those kinds of dangerous memes should never be published.

    "Dangerous Memes", hmm, I'll suggest that to Keith Henson as a title if he ever writes a book about his experiences with the Co$ merry-go-round. Harlan Ellison wouldn't sue over that, would he? (Okay, he would, but after Co$, who cares!)

    You in the back, say it slowly and think of the letters while you're saying it. Sheesh!
