Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 01:02:24 +0100 From: Ragnar Hojland Espinosa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Mediocrity Naysayers Ltd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Huge blocks of ice of about 2-3 Kg are falling from the sky in Spain and they are so cold that they dont break when they hit the ground (after some time one was still at -200 C) In fact, police had a real difficult time cutting them to send samples. So far there have been found more than 20, in cities, airports, countryside, and nobody knows where they come from. The CSIC is going to study this friday the oxigen isotops(sp?) of the water to be sure of the procedence of it (spanish: http://es.news.yahoo.com/000118/19/6ab8.html) Some say they come from the trajectory of a comet, but its unlikely because of friction meltdown they would have a gigantic size. Also, its composition appears to be of pure water, and comet fragments use to carry dust and another substances. (spanish: http://es.news.yahoo.com/000118/13/6aft.html) Others say they come from frozen water from airplanes, but the companies say its unlikely because their water uses a colorant and the blocks of ice have no coloring (for more info seach for ``aerolitos'' on yahoo.es) Hmm.. suddenly I respect a lot more those cold storm D&D mages; imagine such thing falling on your head at stupidly high speeds ... :) -- ____/| Ragnar H�jland Freedom - Linux - OpenGL Fingerprint 94C4B \ o.O| 2F0D27DE025BE2302C =(_)= "Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer for 104B78C56 B72F0822 U chaos and madness await thee at its end." hkp://keys.pgp.com Handle via comment channels only. -- Sent to you via the frendz list at marsbard.com The archive is at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
