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.

Greeks ban electronic games by mistake
Beware Greeks writing laws
By Adamson Rust: Sunday 01 September 2002, 17:40
ONE OF THE SO-CALLED CRADLES of European civilization appears to have got its Aristotle's all in a twist over computer gaming. And mobile phones, for that matter.
The Greek government appears to have lost its marbles.
The government wanted to prevent its people from wasting their money by using electronic slot machines but the democratically appointed government has banned all computer games everywhere by mistake.
And now the cops are raiding Internet cafes to enforce the said SNAFU.
The law, according to our Greek correspondents, prohibits any kind of game that is played on any kind of electronic equipment.
And it appears to have been drafted so loosely that that includes mobile phones.
Theoretically, the cops could bust into people's homes but so far apparently they have arrested Internet cafe owners and customers who were fighting a few rounds of Q3 CTF.
Next thing, the cops will be creeping up on people using their mobile phones just to make sure they're not playing a quick game rather than using them for their real purpose.
Here are some details of the cock up in Greek.
And there's more details about this at the Greek Net Cafe organization.

'My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding' Rolls on
Wed Aug 14, 3:23 PM ET
By ANTHONY BREZNICAN, AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - In a summer of huge movies that last just a few weeks in theaters and are lucky to break even, one little film won't quit.

The celebration has lasted all summer for "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding," a micro-budgeted romantic comedy with great word-of-mouth that has steadily climbed from 20th place on the box-office chart to No. 8 last weekend.
The film, about a woman who defies the traditions of her loud Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek family by marrying a man who isn't Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek, cost only about $5 million to produce. It has collected nearly $45 million since it's April debut, and the end of the honeymoon is nowhere in sight.
"I feel like I connected with absolute strangers across America. That's what I love more than anything," said Nia Vardalos, the star and writer, who adapted the film from her one-woman stage show.
"The money is like, 'Yeah, yeah.'
Vardalos, 39, said she had thought the film would cover its cost and maybe turn a small profit. "I thought I could just die happy that I made a Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek-American movie and I actually got to star in it and that's it," she said.
While "Men in Black II" and "Minority Report" have earned three times as much as Vardalos' film, they also cost about 20 times more to produce. Once marketing costs are factored in, those movies will likely show a profit only on home video.
By comparison, "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding," playing in only 723 theaters, continues to add screens and draw packed houses. Brian Fuson, box-office analyst for The Hollywood Reporter, said it could hold a spot in the top 10 for several more weeks.
"It was a slow roll-out, a few more theaters each week, building its way up," said Fuson. "It's basically what every small independent film hopes will happen."
The project developed after actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, who is Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek-American, saw Vardalos' Los Angeles stage play in 1998. They liked it so much that Hanks purchased the rights through his production company, Playtone Co., and agreed to let Vardalos adapt the story and take the starring role.
Other producers had shown interest in the story, but most wanted to change the family's ethnicity to Hispanic or Italian, saying Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greeks wouldn't resonate with mainstream audiences, Vardalos said.
"They came to me and said, 'We saw your play,' and it's almost like the subtext was: 'And now we're gonna wreck it,'" Vardalos said. "They said, 'Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek, Italian it's the same, isn't it?'"
The difference may just be the details baklava vs. cannoli but Vardalos wanted to express pride in her heritage while poking fun at universal idiosyncrasies: prying parents, overprotective brothers, oddball aunts and uncles, and the ritualistic force-feeding found at big family gatherings.
Raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Vardalos started her career studying musical theater and worked in the box office of the Second City comedy troupe in Chicago. When one of the actors missed a performance one night, she filled in because she knew all the lines.
The next day, the group hired her as a performer, and the rest played out like a Hollywood movie: Among the Second City performers was her future husband, Ian Gomez, who appears in the movie as her fiance's best friend.
Her own traditional Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek wedding full of boisterous relatives, oodles of food and the grudging fusion of cultures inspired her stage act.
She is considering a sequel set in Greece, perhaps something along the lines of "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Honeymoon," and has received numerous other acting offers.
Vardalos is reluctant to specify future plans or take a guess at her movie's final box-office take. She doesn't want to jinx anything.
"I'm a Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek tragedian, so we're scared of stuff like that," she said.

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.

Then I will cover My Big Fat Greek Wedding, with Fat being the operative word. Then some random Eugenia quotes. I hate you Eugenia, for being a fascist at OSNEWS. You are a pathetic waif who can not accept dissent, and you dictate to your small and withering community. I hope you get ovarian cancer.
Fat Eugenia Loli's Friends Ban all electronic games by mistake. Its people like Eugenia Loli that show that the formerly great state of Greece has eroded into a festering inbred, stupid hairy totalitarian fucks like herself. Now is the fatty greases sweltering out of her cellulite that makes it seem like Grease would be a more apropro name than Greece.
The Night Defender Fat Eugenia Loli Fat
Sweating and farting nervously on the verge of mental meltdown, ELQ reloads each of her precious OSNews pages, making sure all is well. Fifty Internet Explorer windows are open in Windows XP, it's grinding the hard drive to death. ELQ's cable modem and NIC activity LEDs are nearly solid from the raw frenzy of almost constant browser reloading. Eugenia's eyes twitch rapidly from window to window with Mercurial speed to make sure that any rogue comments do not escape her attention, always hitting her refresh buttons with pinpoint accuracy. No logical order for checking, purely random and impulse driven by raw Mediterranean temper, stopping for the occasional savage bite from a pork loin still affixed to the bone, Eugenia's eyes never leave the monitor.
"N-n-n-n NO! No TIME for Dance Dance Revolution, oh but it's been so long! I cannot allow the BASTARD flooders' comments to be seen. MY DOMAIN IS SACRED!"
Hair is frizzled and days unwashed, ass-crack just barely half wiped in a frenzy to return to her monitor, having taken a large shit earlier. No time to flush! Her armpits are over-ridden with pubic hair, her fat flaps reek of B.O. and yeast from days of neglect and hour upon hour of sweating. Relentless sweating.
"Cannot to be keeps up this pace! I may be need to go to hospital for exhaustions" she pants in desperation, wiping the sweat from a matted hair lock with her week-old t-shirt offering.
The hour of judgment approaches! Comment number 45 in thread 374 is clearly of anti-Greek sentiment! It reads "Eugenia continues to post yet another story that's simply ripped off from other websites. How much longer can this continue? It's my opinion that she has poor editorial skills. I think they should be revoked."
"YOU BASTARD FUCK!", Eugenia erupts in raw hatred, simultaneously ripping a 120 decibel-at-1-meter fart into the back of her chair. "Nobody is to be attack my site!" Eugenia blasts away at 10 words per minute in a barely-coherent broken English. She's on a mission. After several hours, the words on the screen are completely shattered and in disarray, they make no sense. Eugenia is impressed with her English progress and submits her lousy retort. Relaxing only for several seconds to savor the rush, she continues her patrol, sleepless into the night.
Greeks ban electronic games by mistake
Beware Greeks writing laws
By Adamson Rust: Sunday 01 September 2002, 17:40
ONE OF THE SO-CALLED CRADLES of European civilization appears to have got its Aristotle's all in a twist over computer gaming. And mobile phones, for that matter.
The Greek government appears to have lost its marbles.
The government wanted to prevent its people from wasting their money by using electronic slot machines but the democratically appointed government has banned all computer games everywhere by mistake.
And now the cops are raiding Internet cafes to enforce the said SNAFU.
The law, according to our Greek correspondents, prohibits any kind of game that is played on any kind of electronic equipment.
And it appears to have been drafted so loosely that that includes mobile phones.
Theoretically, the cops could bust into people's homes but so far apparently they have arrested Internet cafe owners and customers who were fighting a few rounds of Q3 CTF.
Next thing, the cops will be creeping up on people using their mobile phones just to make sure they're not playing a quick game rather than using them for their real purpose.
Here are some details of the cock up in Greek.
And there's more details about this at the Greek Net Cafe organization.
Give us a glass of hemlock, Socrates!

'My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding' Rolls on
Wed Aug 14, 3:23 PM ET
By ANTHONY BREZNICAN, AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - In a summer of huge movies that last just a few weeks in theaters and are lucky to break even, one little film won't quit.

The celebration has lasted all summer for "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding," a micro-budgeted romantic comedy with great word-of-mouth that has steadily climbed from 20th place on the box-office chart to No. 8 last weekend.
The film, about a woman who defies the traditions of her loud Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek family by marrying a man who isn't Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek, cost only about $5 million to produce. It has collected nearly $45 million since it's April debut, and the end of the honeymoon is nowhere in sight.
"I feel like I connected with absolute strangers across America. That's what I love more than anything," said Nia Vardalos, the star and writer, who adapted the film from her one-woman stage show.
"The money is like, 'Yeah, yeah.'
Vardalos, 39, said she had thought the film would cover its cost and maybe turn a small profit. "I thought I could just die happy that I made a Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek-American movie and I actually got to star in it and that's it," she said.
While "Men in Black II" and "Minority Report" have earned three times as much as Vardalos' film, they also cost about 20 times more to produce. Once marketing costs are factored in, those movies will likely show a profit only on home video.
By comparison, "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Wedding," playing in only 723 theaters, continues to add screens and draw packed houses. Brian Fuson, box-office analyst for The Hollywood Reporter, said it could hold a spot in the top 10 for several more weeks.
"It was a slow roll-out, a few more theaters each week, building its way up," said Fuson. "It's basically what every small independent film hopes will happen."
The project developed after actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, who is Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek-American, saw Vardalos' Los Angeles stage play in 1998. They liked it so much that Hanks purchased the rights through his production company, Playtone Co., and agreed to let Vardalos adapt the story and take the starring role.
Other producers had shown interest in the story, but most wanted to change the family's ethnicity to Hispanic or Italian, saying Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greeks wouldn't resonate with mainstream audiences, Vardalos said.
"They came to me and said, 'We saw your play,' and it's almost like the subtext was: 'And now we're gonna wreck it,'" Vardalos said. "They said, 'Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek, Italian it's the same, isn't it?'"
The difference may just be the details baklava vs. cannoli but Vardalos wanted to express pride in her heritage while poking fun at universal idiosyncrasies: prying parents, overprotective brothers, oddball aunts and uncles, and the ritualistic force-feeding found at big family gatherings.
Raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Vardalos started her career studying musical theater and worked in the box office of the Second City comedy troupe in Chicago. When one of the actors missed a performance one night, she filled in because she knew all the lines.
The next day, the group hired her as a performer, and the rest played out like a Hollywood movie: Among the Second City performers was her future husband, Ian Gomez, who appears in the movie as her fiance's best friend.
Her own traditional Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek wedding full of boisterous relatives, oodles of food and the grudging fusion of cultures inspired her stage act.
She is considering a sequel set in Greece, perhaps something along the lines of "My Big Fat Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek Honeymoon," and has received numerous other acting offers.
Vardalos is reluctant to specify future plans or take a guess at her movie's final box-office take. She doesn't want to jinx anything.
"I'm a Fat.Eugenia.Lard.Greek tragedian, so we're scared of stuff like that," she said.
I agree. Spirited away rocks, even if youre not an anime fan. The best are the animated dust mites ^^.
Titled: Up yours.
Actual article from the LA Times:
"In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only
trying to retrieve the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the
Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski and his
homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency
treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong. "I pushed a
cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in," he
explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out "Armageddon", my cue that he'd had
enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again, so I
peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract
him." At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what
happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame
shot out the tube, igniting Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning
his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn
ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the
rodent out like a cannonball." Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns
and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered
first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.
O.K., here's the top ten things that scared me the most in reading this
story:
10. "I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum..." Ouch!!!
9. "So I peered into the tube..." Aaaaaahhhhhhh! I'm sorry, but that's
like looking through a telescope into hell. I'd rather use binoculars to
stare at the sum.
8. That poor gerbil (who obviously suffers from low self-esteem) being
shot out of the guy's anus like Rocky the Flying Squirrel on Rocky and
Bullwinkle.
7. Suffering a broken nose from a gerbil being launched out of someone's
anus. I'm just guessing, but I seriously doubt said gerbil was springtime
fresh after his little journey into Kiki's 'tunnel of love'.
6. People walking around with these volcanic-like pockets of gas in their
rectums.
5. People who do this kind of thing and then admit what they were doing
when taken to the emergency room. Sorry, but I think I would have made up a
story about a gang of roving, pyromaniac, anal sex fiends breaking into my
house and sodomizing me with a charcoal lighter before I admitted the truth.
Call me old fashioned, but I just can't imagine looking at a doctor and
saying, "Well Doc, it's like this. See, we have this gerbil named Raggot
and we took this cardboard tube..."
4. "First and second degree burns to the anus". Wouldn't this make the
burning itch and discomfort of hemorrhoids a welcome relief? How does one
ever take a healthy poop after something like that? And the
smell of burning anus must be in the top five most horrible scents on the
face of God's green earth.
3. People named "Kiki" which is obviously a Polynesian word for 'idiotic
white men who insert rodents up their butts."
2. What kind of a hospital would hold a press conference on this?
1. This happened in Salt Lake City. What kind of people are those
Mormons? (I'm starting to get a whole new image of the Osmond family...)
Saddam Hussein today announced a sucessful test of his anti spy satellite defence system. "We look forward to deploying this on behalf of the Islamic world to prevent further incursion on our sovergnity by the peeping Tom's in America" he was quoted as saying.
"It's a subtlee vidence that Iraq is attempting to launch nuclear missiles on us but missed. We must gather our firearms kicking their butts before they'd develop anything that hit."
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.

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.

Are you stalking me... lol, I was use to seeing your name on FD... they you left.. now I see your name here.. weird .. lol (-: .fred
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...
Is this the wepons of mass distruction that Mr bush was taking about? Ahh to be sure we better bomb Iraq and any other country which has oil.
Thanks!

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!
