Where The Hell Is Marvin?

“Hello,

We are receiving reports about a bright green fireball, with fragmentation reported, which has appeared on Sep 29 around 23:11 CEST = 21:11 UTC. An observer in Almelo in the east of the Netherlands, Mr. Westra, gives a
direction south-southwest and about 3 degrees altitude of extinction, suggesting that this event might have been over Belgium or Northern France. A second report has been received also mentioning the green color (and this report mentions the fragmentation), but without further details on observing
locality or directions yet.

“Did you say DUTCH meteor society???? Marvin is sure to be on this like white on rice.”

“I have noticed the absence of Marvin and at least one TT'er.

I wonder if that is just a coincidence.”

“I'll bet you a dollar to a doughnut it has something to do with Schrödinger's Catbox.”

“I wish I could remember which thread it was on, but I caught Violin posting as Marvin once when he forgot to change his username, a la Ohio Hiker/minstercreek the other day.

Since then I've been convinced Marvin is Violin.”

“like, totally DUH! ;-)”

“Well, at least i'm following his advice and am wearing my foil hat. Haven't had any mind-contolling, brainwave problems since!!”

“Ha!, Aero. We just commanded that you write that. You are our puppet. Get used to it.”

“I hope no one convinced Marvin to drill a hole in his forehead to release excess intracranial pressure....”

“But Really, Guys... Something is up. I mean, GREEN fireballs??”

“Tilt, you are so uninformed. To release pressure, you must drill the temples. Get with it, will you?”

“Sure Tilt, green fireballs! It just has to be a meteorite containing nickel.”

“that's what They want you to think, treebait!”

“I thought it was pennies from heaven, not nickels.”

“Nyuk nyuk nyuk.”

“What's the flashpoint of jellow??”

“Ah, THE MIRTHLESS LAUGH of the damned. Time to repress ANOTHER memory.

Take four red capsules, in TEN MINUTES TAKE two more. Help is on THE WAY.

In a few hours the power of TEN BILLION BLACK HOLES will smush you all into A BEAUTIFUL ETERNAL quantum singularity.”

“Does Marvin have anything to do with this?

Sagittarius being eaten by Milky Way
”

“I certainly hope Sagittarius is enjoying it...”

“LMAO @ bitpusher!!

oh Marvin, you're so sexy when you're insane.”

“In a few hours the power of TEN BILLION BLACK HOLES will smush you all into A BEAUTIFUL ETERNAL quantum singularity."

Singularity feels so, well, ... natural.”

“Can I have a cigarette afterwards?”

“No, ciggies are bad for your health.”

“Damn. But I'll be a smushed singularity by then. Does anybody know the Surgeon General's opinion on cigarette use by smushed singularities?”

“Hello all,

From the observations with indications of sky directions I have so far (sightings from Leuven in Belgium, Saarland in Germany, Almelo in the Netherlands and Loon op Zand in the Netherlands) for the 29 september 21:11 UTC fireball, it appears that it must have been over Northern France in the vicinity of Verdun. The reported directions of the endpoint are reasonably in agreement with regard to this position. There is one additional possible sighting from Tongeren in Belgium, which however nowhere matches with the other observations. Perhaps this was another meteor.

With regard to the trajectory direction and entry angle, things remain a bit too uncertain although it would appear that the entry angle was steep as both observers east of the meteor, north of it and northeast of it report steep angles with the horizon.

Two observers report fragmentation near the end, green or blue colors are mentioned, and at least one observer reports a persistent train of long duration.

“I've seen a Sagittarius eating a Milky Way, but that's just WEIRD. What's that spongy stuff in the middle, anyway?”

“Creamy nougat...”

“Yuk. Looks like Beige Cool Whip.

Gimme a Snickers any day.”

“I'll agree with that. Snickers is the candy bar, as far as I'm concerned.”

“You're definitely right about That.


uh oh. Major thread degradation.

Soooooo... what colors do you think a Snickers might exhibit on contacting Earth's atmosphere at, say... Mach 20?”

“Hey Sherlock Bitpusher and lyra Watson – I was in a seminar yesterday from 9-5. Nice theory but I think it need a little work.”

“you're right, it's better when we pretend we don't know who Marvin is...
;-)”

“When Jerry Falwell was going around saying that the Antichrist was a currently living male Jew, Al Franken asked him if it was Marvin Hamlisch.

(wha-?)”

The International Project for Radio Meteor Observation
FLASH of 2003 Draconids - First Announcement -
(2003.Oct.07 22:30UT)
-------------------------------------------------------

Since the possibility of outburst of 2003 Draconids was
predicted, we monitored this activity and are monitoring
now. I announce the FLASH of this meteor shower.

I received some FLASH reports as following.

Toshihide MIYAKE (Japan), Masayoshi UEDA (Japan),
Yasuhiro YOSHIKAWA (Japan), Dirk Artoos (Belgium),
Valter Gennao(Italy), Dave Swan (UK)

From these reports, there were no-outburst in Japan. On
the other hand, some observers caught the increase of
meteor echoes since 6th(UT) night. Therefore, outburst
might occer. But this is not sure. This is because I
do not have enough data now. Members of this project will
report their observed data since now. So, I will annnounce
the second flash around 12h(UT, 8th).

Therefore, we can say "In Japan, there was no outburst in
this morning. On the other hand, in other country, the
small increase was observed. Therefore, we can say this
increase may be the possibility of outburst."

I will announce again. And you can see the Radio Live
on the following web. This LIVE is provided by some
Japanese stations, Jure ZAKRAJSEK(Slovenia), Dave Swan
(Italy) and Jeff Brower(USA).

“Police raid filthy farm, make arrest

Miami-Dade police on Friday raided a pig farm, arresting the live-in caretaker and charging him with animal cruelty.

"There was animal feces everywhere, and there was trash and vehicles littering the area," said Miami-Dade police spokesman Detective Randall Rossman. "They called the conditions deplorable."

<snip>
Gonzalez told a Herald photographer that the place has so much debris because he doesn't have enough time to clean up.

He added: "Besides, I can't do anything at night. When I come out at night my skin hurts because of the radiation from outer space." He also said he fears Agent Orange being dumped on him from an overhead plane.”
