Leaked Pentagon documents reveal that the first test of the US's new weapon system designed for the war against the Comet People was a success.

Huh. Knew it.


So, can anyone tell me: was the increased brightness a result of incandesent debris cast off by the collision, or becasue the debris was reflective?

I saw a thing on MSNBC where some crazy female Russian astrologer is now suing NASA for
"ruining the natural balance of forces in the universe” because of this. She wants $300 million in compensation for her “moral sufferings".

INN have reported that the properous Terran Empire have struck the first blow against the evil citizens of Fabrini aboard their worldship Yonada by launching a terrible deep-impact missile from the dreadnought Impactor. Though reports are sketchy, casualties and fatalities are estimated in the millions.

Hail to the Beneficant Empress Sato.
