- 10001110101, on 12/18/2007, -1/+38Inaccurate. The meteorite was not found. It's just another writeup about the impact crater-lake.
- Frostman3D, on 12/18/2007, -1/+37Everybody knows Tesla did that *****!
- joncarr, on 12/18/2007, -1/+33"A team of Italian scientists from the University of Bologna?"
Dr. Oscar & Dr. Meyer? - sotopheavy, on 12/18/2007, -2/+32Everybody knows it was a cow that jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such a sight, then the dish ran away with the spoon.
- Dumbledorito, on 12/18/2007, -0/+19"You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual."
"I know!"
"You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!"
"Felt great."
"We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue."
"Okay." - thcobbs, on 12/18/2007, -1/+18Yeah, they navigate millions of light-years of space.... to screw up the last few hundred miles of navigation..............
- bosssmiley, on 12/18/2007, -0/+15All true. Tesla and Edison got drunk in the lab one night. One bad superscience idea, two inventors and an atlas later...
YOUR SIBERIA ASPLODE! - markoa, on 12/18/2007, -0/+13Do you really believe that he was not aware of the lightning and that he would consider anything of potentially huge benefit to be usable unless perfectly safe?
And yes, geniuses have ideas that until realized are always considered wacky. It is a pity that he didn't have time and money to do all the things that he wanted. Sadly he died alone and poor. - joncarr, on 12/18/2007, -0/+10They may not know anything about meteorites, but they sure have a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
- turbopro, on 12/18/2007, -0/+9This is all bologna.
- orlyfactor, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8That part of the story made me hungry.
- otatop, on 12/18/2007, -2/+10My spoon is too big. My spoon is too big. My spooon...is too big.
- protogenxl, on 12/18/2007, -1/+8You're watching the "Family Learning Channel". And now, angry ticks fire out of my nipples.
- RaGa, on 12/18/2007, -0/+6Dugg for University of Bologna
- goerg, on 12/18/2007, -0/+6everyone knows the landing is the most cruvial event during a flight ;)
- sabach, on 12/18/2007, -1/+7I am a BANANA!
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -0/+6I'm sure that you know more about the topic than Tesla. Now to go listen to the Mario Bros. theme on a pair of Baalzebub Coils.
- Dustmuffins, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5You don't FIND Chuck Norris, he finds you, then he has his way with your mother.
- arjie, on 12/18/2007, -1/+6There were these other two brothers with weird ideas. They wanted to throw people through the air in a giant wooden contraption with a propeller. Totally wacky man, men can't fly (ever heard of Icarus?)
- donkz, on 12/18/2007, -0/+4US found him a while back. I believe his alias is Chuck Norris.
- unfanderful, on 12/18/2007, -0/+4Well, thcobbs, maybe they forgot to change all of their gear over to the metric system.
It wasn't a meteorite, it was a warning shot. The aliens were letting us know what we had in store if we didn't supply them with a steady stream of boiled peanuts and taffy.
Think about it - why else would you never see boiled peanuts and taffy on drive thru menus? That's right! Because we're exporting it all to the aliens! - sockpuppets, on 12/18/2007, -6/+10There is no spoon.
- sremick, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3So is your grade school English teacher.
- funkytaco, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Duplicate from about 30 days ago...................................
- mexicanman07, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3we dont know what all he did because the government took his work when he died
- protogenxl, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Goin' to the market now, market now
I'm the city's biggest bologna buyer
Walkin' down the shopping aisles, shopping aisles
Filling up my basket with Oscar Meyer - MiDri, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Tesla's wireless power not only worked, it is the base idea we use for developing wireless charging devices now -- those wireless charging toothbrushes use Tesla's basic design to transfer current through the air harmlessly.
- Braingoo, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Meteorites have a way with B.O.L.O.G.N.A
- XeNoGeAr78, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Ok, I don't get the "Ghostbusters" reference other than that this event was mentioned in that movie
- ncc74656m, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3"Their" way, friend.
- yournamehere, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3"their way" ... english, it's not that hard
- int10h, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Welcome to Digg.
- spider418, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Na-ah... We all know it was a tiny black hole, which is still orbiting in the earth core!
- PyrotekNX, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2The meteorite is a lie!
- jayfarer, on 12/18/2007, -1/+2It was Abstergo Industries
- gn0stik, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1First, wireless HV is totally doable, and safe, if done right. Second, safety isn't why it failed. It failed because JP Morgan couldn't figure out a way to keep it from being stolen. Third, if you wanna talk about dangerous inventions, we'd never get anywhere if that were the only criteria. Do you know how many people die in car accidents per year, worldwide?
- WeirdNGilly, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1Old news (and already dugg): http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/11/07 ...
- XeNoGeAr78, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1protogenxl..... This one was better. :P
- gn0stik, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1Not to mention improbable. The explosion that knocked over 800 square miles of trees would have vaporized anything close by. There are still trees standing around that lake, and it has sediment layers older than 100 years.
It was an airburst if anything. But perhaps a fragment could have landed there. - protogenxl, on 12/18/2007, -3/+4We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
- jcaino, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1it would kind of make sense to be 8km and at such an extreme angle considering that if the meteorite blew up in the air, it would send out fractured pieces in all directions...
- wendeldiggs, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1And it's old news to boot. But then this is digg...
- hydroplane, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1Batonga Batonga Batonga
- wushi, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1guess what i'm not english nor american for that matter
english is not my mother tongue
sorry for making your eyes bleed
i wonder how many languages you actually speak... - Subliminational, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1potato backwards!
- EnigMachineGun, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1They found this ages ago. And I believe it was the crater, not the meteorite, that was alleged to be found.
- there, on 12/19/2007, -0/+1Researchers were participants in the biggest interdimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!
- captnkurt, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1From the original draft of the article:
"A team of Italian scientists from the University of Bologna (formerly the University of Cow Lips and Pig Anuses) recently identified..." - Danoz, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1Hang on, I'm sure years ago they proved that there was no crater and the explosion occurred above the ground, hence the butterfly shape (which they've been able to replicate with above ground nuclear detonations). What the *****.
- steinardo, on 12/18/2007, -0/+1But there's always a fork...
