One Big Ass Rock

Yep, that's one big ass rock. Glad to see no one's car is under it. At least I hope no one's car is under it.

I saw some of the footage they've been shooting down at Malibu and the other coastal areas. Things are getting hammered pretty hard, so yes, I can believe that picture.

Wheeee! My ICBT (Inter-Continental Ballistic Trebuchet) has its first succesful test firing! Soon I shall have weapons with ranges capable of reaching the west coast of the US and accuracy enough to take out Michael Bay as he sits drinking his morning decaf, non-dairy, latte.

speaking of which, i do recall a certain rock launched from Mars that hit the EU and SOMEONE didn't bother to tell us what happened next. Hmmm, who could that be.

No, it's from the recent California mudslides.

Hey! I've been busy - but I can safely say that in the next few months, follow ups to Dark Dawns, A Bond of Faith and TK421...

Thats in between starting writing for a gaming site, increased hours of production and hopefully getting a PR position with the radio station - and of course playing through a backlog of about 20 PC games.

That rock is about ten miles away from my house. They had to close down a huge stretch of Topanga Canyon for a couple of weeks, and they're gonna have to blow it up since no truck can carry it.

Man. Lotsa mudslides today. We went up to the top of Stunt Road and got a HUGE slide from atop there. I'll get pictures posted as soon as they're online...

I saw them blow it apart on the news. Is there any info anywhere on how much TNT it took to crack that rock in half?

Heh, imagine that rock hitting the road at 15 km/s.

Well, they said that they used as little as possible to prevent rock fragments from flying all over the area.

It was on the front page of my paper. Must be a slow news week.
