2:17 PM Annalee of Io9 YRMC
There's already a post here that was inspired bi Io9...it's this one. One of the chicks that writes over there (I don't care if you call me a sexist on that one, these two are mostly women that I would love to hang out with but her post here makes her a CHICK) and I honestly can't find the link to this post...but she put up that KILLER picture of the God of War II concept art and...said it was cool. Didn't recognize what it was, and while I know she doesn't work for Kotaku, that just frustrated me...women like her are the reason that I get laughed at in comic book stores.
That being said, Annalee (of Io9, keep up) wrote a post today that apparenly proves that the 1908 Tunguska Explosion Was A Comet.
This makes me really sad. Tunguska was one of those things that I would find the National Geographic issue on the shelves in the den at the house I grew up in and look through those photos over and over again...because they were just so WEIRD. Nothing could explain it. There were all these THEORIES but nothing was for sure. And I loved it! It was a mystery of such epic proportions that my sugar and asthma medication fueled imagination high would go almost ANYWHERE. That was the best part. And now...it could be gone.
Science RUINS things for me. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME KEEP MY MYSTERIES, SCIENCE? Why does science hate happiness?

i think that knowing now that it was a comet impact makes it more amazing. that means that Earth is NOT immune to the functions of our universe and the fact that it happened as recently as 1908 and it was witnessed and recorded. i remember reading countless books in junior high (my grandfather had the entire set of "Man, Myth and Magic", which i inherited) about mysterious events, UFO cases and Cryptozoology and imagining that i could solve that puzzle or answer this question using Sherlock Holmes-style deductive reasoning. while all that stuff is fun to speculate about, things like this and this provide those kinda mysteries that are are so close to the unknown, but have a base in evidence and science.
