Fireball in the sky

[Sergeant Bob]

Some stupid with a flare gun.

I see what you did there!

If Ma Earth is getting bombarded with all these rocks that burn up in the atmosphere, how come there ain't a lot of new craters on the moon 

[230RN]

Well here's a recent one... this year, I think.  There are so many craters on the moon that one more is hardly noticeable unless you happen to catch the flash or do a remapping.

Also depends on what you think is "a lot."

Back when I was in school, the textbooks said that no new crater had ever been observed on the moon.

Of course, that was a long time ago

Must have been a helluva flare gun to be seen in 4 different states.

Dunno about 4 states, but it reached #4 on the Billboard charts in '73.

You're just funnin' us. There weren't no craters on the moon way back then.

Funny how they're almost always circular.

Funny how they're almost always circular.

Proof that the craters were an inside job.

Funny how they're almost always circular.

Try throwing rocks into a mudhole at different angles

Save when they miss entirely ......
