Peru Update

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village: " Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.

Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia."

Isn't this how one of those Lovecraft stories started out? Didn't everyone who survived turn into giant man-eating frogs? Or was that one of Joe's books?

Sounds like Joe, all right.

Both Lovecraft and Landsdale might go that way. However, a Lansdale would be readable.

It's possible Gomer's right, and someone was playing with explosives...elsewhere I've seen suggestions of space debris. I'm not sure if it being intentional, unintentional, or utterly non-humanly-driven natural is potentially most disturbing.

i shuddered in horror as though submerged in a gurgling outre ichor of foul odor and buzzing timbre at the unholy, festering suggestion i am unreadable.

this is how moronic journalists are; every outlet for this story that i was able to access via google, which was about 50, they all called the object a meteorite. that's what it was as far as they ALL were concerned. journalists must all go to one journalism school where real-world events are redefined via a kind of "close enough" Journalism Dictionary. However, in the history of humanity there has never been a meteorite that emanated anything. there have been objects filled with MUSTARD GAS that have created muddly, liquid-filled craters when they land and explode in a rural, bronze-age field of wet, urine-soaked alpa flop and which radiate various vibrations and emanations and auroral manifestations and demonic infestations and psychic spiritual vampiric tonal resonanaces and one or two chemical compounds which tend to make one puke blood and yesterday's dinner of fermented mead and goatnuts all over the chicken heads scattered throughout the toltec environment. but no METEORITE has EVER done that in the 6 billion year history of meteorites. meteorites just impact and lay there. and sometimes end up in a case with a sign in front of them that kids stare at in a ritalin-induced trance while the adult in escort on the government payroll says things like "can anyone tell me the difference between a meteor and a meteorite?" in a downtalking kind of dimwitted singsongy whine. not one of the journalists "reporting" the story had one atom's evidence that it was a meteorite. they all just SAID it was. even though it behaved unlike any meteorite in galactic history and exactly like every gas bomb in history. journalists. they're about as important to our lives as haitian alcoholics who dance around circular trashfires in out-of-body trances, moaning and gesticulating in wide-eyed terror that the zombie people gonna get 'em.
