Latvian Meteor Strike A Hoax
A Latvian mobile phone company has admitted it staged a meteor strike outside the town of Mazsalaca as a publicity stunt. What do you think?

"I wish people would stage meteor hoaxes in my town. Instead, when people where I live get bored, they inhale lacquer thinner."
Nick Ast,
Finished Goods Stock Clerk
"Why do we always have to question things? Can't we just enjoy the hole in the ground for what it isn't?"
Ann Finkel,
Inetrlacer
"It makes you wonder what other ruses those dastardly Latvians are trying to pull on us. Are those Rothko paintings really masterpieces, or just plain old monochromatic rectangles?"
