Why did you blush GM? Was good!

soop - will investigate.

For me, I can spell asteroid, not sure about the other one!

Right, so what's the difference between an asteroid and a haemorrhoid? Only sensible replies, please. After all, this is Gransnet...

I must have had a premonition!!!!

He he he !!!

I was waiting for someone to say that!!!

Well done GM

You know you said there was a huge hole in your garden yesterday morning..........................??????

Oh I would never have thought of that dorsetp.

Just thinking aloud really. Thought it might make a bit of interest.

JO8 look up wikipedia - a fount of knowlege

Says in the article that it was probably made of iron. So the Russians probably put it up there in the first place.

I wonder what the difference is between a meteorite and a meteoroid. And whether any more of the junk up there will fall down. And then there's asteroids. What are they?

Not quite the same but DS filmed asteroid 2012DA14 tonight as it passed over England. Two in 24 hours, wonder why they didn't see the first one coming.

Wasn't it amazing. I watched the footage on the BBC News at One. They were so lucky it didn't come down over the town itself or over a heavily populated area.
