Tunguska Impact Crater Found?
BigBadBus writes in with a claim by an Italian team that they may have found an impact crater resulting from the 1908 Tunguska explosion over Siberia. The BBC story quotes a number of impact experts who doubt the Italians' claim. "A University of Bologna team says a lake near the epicenter of the blast may be occupying a crater hollowed out by a chunk of rock that hit the ground. Lake Cheko — though shallow — fits the proportions of a small, bowl-shaped impact crater, say the Italy-based scientists. Their investigation of the lake bottom's geology reveals a funnel-like shape not seen in neighboring lakes. In addition, a geophysics survey of the lake bed has turned up an unusual feature about 10m down which could either be compacted lake sediments or a buried fragment of space rock."
Dr. Stanz approves.
University of Bologna? My crater has a first name, it's T-u-n-g-u-s-k-a...

An official with the University of Horseshit was quoted as saying "That's not a lake, that's partially liquified alien spaceships.". Reached for a response prior to teaching a class at the College of Bullcrap, Professor Dumbass had the following to say, "Well, it could be a meteor, it could be a meatball, who can say really?"
Since no man has discovered the blast site until now, how do we know the object is not composed of highly dangerous contaminants/heavy metals that humans have not discovered yet?
Oh, and I just bet you doubters have a better explanation for a hole in the ground full of water? I thought not.
Life needs more saving throws.
The Tunguska explosion happened because George Bush doesn't care about Black Oil.
Wow! That crater really is huge! Oh wait.. it's a man stretching his bottom open.
You mean, Swamp Gas Explosion(tm)?
..the losers who try to take television seriously.They waste hours making cunts of themselves by arguing online with other fanboys about faggoty shit like "mytharcs" or character motivations, while completely unaware, ironically, how pathetic they look. So what's faggier, having an interest in science fiction or having nothing better to occupy your life with than trolling people on topics you have no interest in? I see your insult of "cunt" and raise you by two "wank-stains."

"an unusual feature about 10m down which could either be compacted lake sediments or a buried fragment of space rock"
"Sir we found an anomaly at the bottom of the lake."
"Well, what could it be?"
"It's either dirt, or a ROCK FROM OUTER SPACE!!!"
Slow Down, Cowboy! It's been 60 minutes since you last successfully posted a comment.
