By the way, I had toast for breakfast. It was whole grain - and it was delicious! I ate it while I was reading up on the Russian asteroid.

He has nothing to apologize for and has never been ashamed of his heritage. I am very proud of him and blessed to have him as a father.
Wanna cookie? I never said he had to be ashamed of his heritage. Just chill miss lady..

Then there was Tunguska, in 1980 -- with a diameter of 60m, it would have weighed many hundreds of tons.
The Tunguska event
NASA is now placing the meteorite's size at 49 feet (8 meters) across, and 7,000 tons. Which is about the weight of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

No thanks on the cookie - if I want one, I'll get my own. I'm sort of particular about who I accept food from, ya know?

I am chill, by the way. In fact, I'm about to head out the door to Louisiana - and may hit up the southwest corner of Arkansas - for a weekend with the family. Good times, good times!

Pretty soon you can say, "She ain' heah no mo, she dun lef' out!" and you would be correct!

Nothing controversial about meteorite explosions.
Well some have mentioned that it could have been an explosive device that would have come from another country, possibly the good old US, and that makes it good ground for this forum.

However, I know it did not strike the ground and did blow up more than once and that over 1000 people have been injured in the explosion.

Very much aware, I was simply offering a bit of friendly advice. Take it or leave it.
