Best Ending Line

As we have recently been reading the opening is important, however endings can make or break a story.

Scientists reconstruct Russian meteor trajectory

In a paper published online at arXiv.org, Zuluaga and Ferrin took Geen's analysis further, using a gravitational analysis to reconstruct the path of the rock going back four years before impact. Their analysis indicates that the meteor was one of the Apollo asteroids, a class of space rocks whose elongated orbits occasionally cross that of our planet. There are about 5,200 known Apollo asteroids, the largest of them being 1866 Sisyphus, a six-mile wide rock discovered in 1972. Sisyphus is comparable in size to the impactor thought to have caused a global extinction event some 66 million years ago, ending the age of the dinosaurs.

In an effort to prevent a repeat of this sort of event, European Space Agency officials announced a plan to smash a spacecraft into an Apollo asteroid in 2022 to alter its orbit, just for practice. The target of the joint European/US Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission, a rock named 65803 Didymos, poses no threat to our planet in the foreseeable future, unless of course the mission goes seriously wrong and Didymos is knocked into our path.

This is more an interior paragraph from AJz's

"The Arabs and their flying shoes."

"Another thing," Bernard Lewis suggests regarding the rise of Arab revolutions we call the Arab Spring, "is the sexual aspect of it. One has to remember that in the Muslim world, casual sex, Western-style, doesn't exist. If a young man wants sex, there are only two possibilities - marriage and the brothel. You have these vast numbers of young men growing up without the money, either for the brothel or the bride-price, with raging sexual desire. On the one hand, it can lead to the suicide bomber, who is attracted by the virgins of paradise - the only ones available to him. On the other hand, sheer frustration."

I was tempted to edit the 'sheer frustration', but I have some integrity.

Still it may be that Islam has it's own sexual time bomb abuilding, unless they change and advise masturbation.

More meteorites found!

Large meteor fragment found in Russia
Scientists have found a sizeable fragment of the meteor that exploded over the Ural Mountains last week.

10% iron, so far. reasonable. but no assays yet.
