2 Birds, 1 Big Ass Stone

This week, a group of scientists came out with a study concluding that an asteroid strike is the only plausible explanation for the extinction of dinosaurs.

They also think they have found the point of impact, the Mexican town of Chicxulub located on the Yucutan peninsula, home to about 5000 people.

Not only would this explain the dinosaurs but also what is wrong with Mexico as well.

Think of the transformation in Japan after we dropped the nuke on them. They went from being an imperialistic empire that was militarily active and trying to expand its sphere of influence. With that were the traditional notions of honor and sacrifice, etc. that have been shown in every WWII movie made. After we nuked them though there was a big change. They are some of the most peaceful people on the planet yet they are clearly traumatized since they seem hell bent on cornering the market for bloodiest movies, strangest porn, neon merkins and least understandable game shows.

Seriously, if it weren't for Germany wouldn't Japan be the clubhouse leader for the "Weirdest Shit Going On" title? I think so.

If only two little nukes could do that, imagine what a force 65 billion times the power of that could do. Could it create a land that seems to have all the trappings of a successful nation state but constantly seems to be a lawless failed state? Could it explain Tijuana, Telemundo or Horchata? I think so.

At least in here in the United States we got closer to some good Tequila instead of Sake, that makes the whole ordeal worth it.
