New research suggests a comet from deep space may have killed the dinosaurs — not an asteroid from the belt between Mars and Jupiter as previously thought.

So unlike Kohoutek, this really was an end of the year world comet.

Somebody just watched the movie, 'Greenland.'

Lisa Randall (of Harvard) published a book about this in 2015 (Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs).

I thought so...

5G killed the dinosaurs. Hugo Chavez and Stalin built up the network and voting machines fell from the sky.

you tellin’ me one comet hit every dinosaur on earth? that’s one helluva shot

Different shade of beige

Where did the layer of iridium at the K-T boundary come from?

Oh, good. Make that two curly fries.

The birds outside my window would like to refute part of this headline

Didn’t climate change kill the dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs did not respond with requests for comment by the time this piece aired.

Is that the comet who also brought elonmusk to us?

Umami?

Aliens killed the dinosaurs

Thus began the Star Wars

Does it really matter?

Take what this man says with a grain of salt as speculation and alien ships seem to be his forte. 🤔

Um neither

So the random comet that is impossible to predict and once it has been detected it will be far too late to do anything about? Could be the best thing to happen to human civilization in the last millennia, its end.

are we sure it wasn't the Jewish alien laser? I am going to need Marge to weigh in on this.

Ah, I see that NPR is following up on that dinosaur promise.

Racism killed the dinosaurs.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesMy wife is a special education teacher. She gets her second vaccine at 9:15 tomorrow. I'm thrilled. Me? I'm 168 millionth in line. I'm good. Wearing a mask, doing the social distance. A strong push with sufficient supply could give a first dose to everyone who wants it in WY and be completely done there. Then move onto other low population states. Any state smaller than WV, should just be surged for a week or so with transportation by military. Unless you live in NYC it’s unlikely you’ll see any vaccine in NYS. I’m in 1b as a healthcare worker and can’t find anything

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesChuck need to get these folks in line. I am okay with this... IF they got those “moderate” Democrats to agree to vote to eliminate the filibuster until 2022. This was DEMS that made the restrictions. Notice nobody coming forward to take credit for it. If you want to force this change, you should own the decision and explain it! I support it, but don’t like the silence on it. Own your decisions & explain them.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesI don’t think you can blame an app. Every person has free will and is well able to make a choice in their actions. Unfortunately those choices ended in fatality. God be with them. Really seems like a stretch to blame snapchat here just because it had a filter that measured speed. If they had a speedometer, would the manufacturer be blamed for the same reason? 'And the federal appears court said Snap should be treated like any other company that makes a product that can lead to injury or harm to consumers.' Can't wait till we start going after gun manufacturers! (Not sarcasm, actually excited.)
