Hundreds Spot Fireballs In Colorado, Nearby States
pingpong writes "Hundreds of people in Colorado and 7 surrounding states have reported seeing "fireballs" in the night sky. They are described as being 10 to 15 times larger than a normal shooting star and bluish in color. Two people even claimed to see one land, but it has yet to be found. The Daily Camera is reporting it online here."
Field reports invited.
Nah, those aren't fireballs... they were just downed weather balloons...
Move along, nothing to see here.
Greatest spell ever!

Go see 'Spirited Away', you've earned it.

This was very interesting, but, and I don't normally complain about this, there were a few punctuation errors here and there that really threw off the rhythm.
Oh, and before I forget, I don't think the haiku's are the more traditional 5-7-5, although, quite frankly, I don't know how many syllables are in LOLI QUERU.
Thanks for the tips, though, and I'll be sure not to peruse OSNews in the near future.

I agree. Spirited away rocks, even if youre not an anime fan. The best are the animated dust mites ^^.

You wrote: "How typically Canadian. Instilling Canadian gun culture in 4 year old children. Digusting!" Perhaps my perspective stems more from the value and education placed upon a gun. Seeing gun ownership as an extention of your Constitutional Rights and a necessary control upon your elected officials seems to play into the the perennial fascination Americans have with the wild mythos of the 'True West', not to mention the ultimate political extension in the form of the Monroe Doctrine.A gun to me is utilitarian object but potentially dangerous and is to be treated as such. Perhaps where my first introduction to gun lore was by way of two injunctions: (1) Treat every gun as if it were loaded; (2) Never point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot, perhaps the 'merican ethos is more akin to threaten to shoot as a matter of foreign policy.

Would somebody please shoot this guy?

iBelieve. but lately I think i'm fucking psycho. According to Mr. Webster I surely am... why am I changing so drastically? can't I just resume my ignorance of these external factors?

Looking for short term contracts. Serious applicants only please. None of this scan my internal network of WinXP machines.. no thanks. Linux only. What else... I make $5.15/hour so... pretty much any price is negotiable. The larger your company the more I expect.

Bill's guide to making Hot Blind Chicks:
For each individual serving you will need
1 - Chick
1 - Flash grenade
1 - large oven
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Lead the Chick into a dark room, throw in the flash grenade, close the door and cover for 2 minutes. Remove the chick from the room and throw into oven until desired hotness is reached. Season to taste. Voila, hot blind chick.

Seems to be an invasion according my data! Fire at will!
Of course. It would be hard not to, with your southern neighbours love affair with the things. It's a big border...
Isn't it obvious? It's Jerry Lee Lewis's career.
Hats off to you, sir. You have a good mind.
BTW, people who are actively reaching for their higher selves do tend to be more aware of the fucked up stuff going on in the skies these days. Most of the brain damaged posters who responded to your story would most likely not even be able to recall witnessing such an event at all.
--And not just because the bulk of zombie nation are ill-inclined to do any sort of hiking in the wilderness, (hiking and star gazing on top of old caves is a true sign of coolness!), but because they have that amazing ability to re-boot their brains at the first sign of trouble. Perhaps you know what I'm talking about. --I've witnessed numerous times where people have been shown 'impossible' things point-blank, which they actually cannot remember as little as half a day later, or which they radically warp and re-write in their own memories so that it may be quickly dismissed.
Both small and great minds think alike, but the small ones only do so because they all watched the last episode of 'Friends'.
BTW, have you been watching? Didja catch the last 5 big-assed meteors over the last month and half? I tend to think it's just the beginning. Should be interesting, regardless!
Take care!

This would be the space shuttle that was launched some 9 years before Sputnick, right?
