Crusty fireball space mango wrecks US doctor's office A "mango-sized" meteorite crashed into a doctor's office in Virginia this week at more than 200 mph, according to reports. The space rock smashed through the roof, an internal wall and an upper floor before shattering into several pieces on a concrete slab. "Literally an explosion went off," Dr Marc Gullani told local TV …
And right here we see the weakness in Obama's so-called "health care reform" bill.
People could easily be killed by these space rocks crashing into them while visiting a doctor. Under the old system, people were free to *choose* their doctor, allowing them to select from the many meteor-free practices in the country.
How dare the government force tax-payers to visit these space-rock death-traps instead of their own doctor!
Except of course that under the current US system, patients are as free to "choose" their doctor as cows are to "choose" which farmer gets to milk them.
So people should demand that their HMO only select meteor-free doctors, although the HMO is likely to tell them to fuck off and take it like the geologists they are.
The US administration has passed emergency legislation requiring 48 hours notice of the entry into US airspace of any pieces of space grumble, together with the names and person^H^H^H^H^H^H alienal details of all passengers on said space grumble. Plus, all passengers are required to adopt a sitting position - or as near as their anatomy permits - for the last hour of their flight.
The UK government is expected to follow suit as soon as a legislator sentient enough to jerk a knee can be found.
"...The IT angle?..."
prior the impact, it has been established that metiorite had a little crack o, caused by the spacebar when it tilted on the keyboard.
The couple are happy because it just damaged the keyboard and not their Mac desktop, otherwise they would have lost their lifetime pictures.
Did the meteorite (they're only 'meteors' when they're moving) literally explode? Literally? Or did it metaphorically explode? Or did it basically explode? Or did it logically dis-implode? Did it -plode anything at all? Was there any form of "plosion", ex-, im-, un-, de-, meta-?
Or did it just shatter when it hit the floor, much in the same manner as any ordinary rock hitting concrete at 200mph would do?
Also, since when has a mango been a Reg-Standard measure?
There are many species of mangoes around, ones sized as little as 5cm and others bigger as 20cm.
But I think it is like the feet or the inch: each king/queen has a different sized foot/thumb and the unit's size should be changed accordingly.
Thumbs up, 'cos 1 thumb wide = 1 inch (or so I were told; bear with me, came back from the pub almost now)
