End of the "Lone Asteroid" Theory?

hussar writes "This BBC article reports on research that suggests the dinosaurs were not killed off by the Chicxulub asteroid's immediate effects but ultimately fell to evironmental stresses caused by a second asteroid that hit about 300,000 years later. The second impact may have been in the Indian Ocean."

    Dude for the longest time I thought you were just some lame psuedo-troll but now I see you actually have some creative writing abilities. Kudos.

    Now it all makes sense. The dinosaurs couldn't defend themselves against the angels because they didn't have any weapons strong enough to penetrate an AT field.

    The obvious explanation for that is that Koalas were created by Satan.

    I call BS on this article. Everyone knows that the 2nd impact happens in Antartica in a couple years. Then a whiny little bitch ends up in a giant robot who was once his mother.

    The 3rd impact is up for debate if it happens or not.
