I don't know about you guys, but this scares the crap out of me. And yet, it plays second fiddle to CNN's obsession with that cruise ship. Had this happened last year, the 2012 doomsday crowd would have gone even more insane than they did. Between this and Tunguska 1908, Russia can't get a break.
This is also the kind of event that could have been mistaken for a first strike nuclear attack not too many decades ago.

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha."Meteor hits country with largest land mass!"
*slow clap*
Hey meteor! Call me when you manage to hit the Vatican.
In all seriousness this is rather humbling and serious.

no, in order to be Pope, one must be male and Catholic. the meteor is neither.

Magister Pontifex MaximusFrench Meteors are female but in a cosmic sense all space rocks are 'univers'al therefore Catholic.
However Erisian Popes can be genderless, inanimate objects once they enter Earth's atmosphere if they carry the correct ID and get a dispensation from another pope.
If you want to make a rock a Pope be one today.

Pfffft don't be ridiculous...
The Inanimate Carbon Rod will be Pope!

No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

I was discussing this last night - regarding how I might get to be pope. I suspect they could do some kind of pro forma ceremony (baptism, confirmation, etc), wave their hands, and declare a guy Catholic in order to make him Pope. I was baptized as a baby but not sure if that gets me much further than purgatory. I was more excited by the prospect of the Coptic popehood (even cooler hats) but that was filled in November.
Is it true the meteor was 7,000 tons?
This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

South Jersey DevilI am pretty sure the guy would have to be declared a Catholic before they could be elected Pope.

The one who keeps all of your secrets!No. It was actually 6999 & 1/2 tons.
If it landed in the ocean, it would have been baptized, and then it could have been Pope.

Could it be Kal-El?
Seriously though, that is scary and fascinating at the same time.
