House Science Committee Questions Existence of Meteors

Posted by Andy Borowitz


WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology said today that the committee would hold hearings next week “to settle the question, once and for all, of whether meteors exist.”


“The media has been in something of a frenzy recently on this whole topic of meteors,” said chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas). “I think it’s irresponsible of them to frighten the public about something that, at the end of the day, may be about as real as unicorns.”

Rep. Smith said that he had seen recent reports of the “so-called Russian meteor” of last week, but added, “Maybe it’s the scientific skeptic in me, but this ‘meteor’ may just have been a bunch of fireworks that some Siberian fellow set off after drinking a little too much Stoli. It is winter, after all, and that’s how those folks keep warm.”

The Texas congressman said that he and other meteor doubters are worried that scientists had “a vested interest” in convincing people that meteors are real: “They want the government to spend more money on science, and, let me tell you, that is the last thing the Science Committee is going to do.”

As for the scientific theory that meteors may have killed the dinosaurs, Rep. Smith chuckled, “That theory would also have us believe that there were dinosaurs.”

The problem is with some of the Tea Party folks being such nutcases on science and social ideology- and wanting to take us back to pre Civil War days thinking on both-- a whole lot of folks thought this one was true...

When you have old grey haired candidates running around telling women essentially that if they are raped- they won't get pregnant unless they enjoyed it- you have left the world open to wonder what these nutcases believe in...

WE don't want to leave the union. It would be nice though to divide into the 5 states which law allows and add a few more conservatives to the house and senate. That might solve a few problems.

There's no way that anybody could believe that if given half a thought. I sniffed it out before I had it half read.

Speaking of idiots, YOUR VP is telling women that the best thing to protect themselves is to get a double barrel shotgun and shoot it outside into the air -and sadly, that's NOT parody.

There's stupidity everywhere on the internet these days. I saw one recently where a guy actually recommended raising taxes so that the King could pay down the deficit quickly.

Sandhusker if you stuck around long enough on this site anymore-- you would know that I think and have put posts on explaining why I believe a double barrel shotgun is one of the best home defense weapons- especially for a family that has not grown up around guns/handguns....

Hell of a lot easier to learn to handle by mother and grandma than some Chuck Norris style "AR-15 Bushmaster weapons system"...

Not sure if I agree with Bidens going out on the deck and shooting in the air-- but I bet if you were creeping under his deck-- your shorts would be green after torching off one of the barrels... :wink: :lol: :p

The double barrel visually is extremely intimidating-- and the only thing I know more intimidating is the sound when someone who knows how to handle one racks one into a 12 gauge pump....
I've handcuffed folks that had wet pants from hearing that sound... :wink:
