The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.Rev.8:8, 8:9
Good timing. I just started listening to “Lucifer’s Hammer”, an old SF novel by Niven and Pournelle. I remember it as an exciting book, but the early chapters are consumed with soap opera “who’s sleeping with whose spouse” stuff.
Reminds me of a very early George Carlin routine as the hippie dippy weatherman calling for rain, but adding something about a thermonuclear blast, “so I wouldn’t sweat the small stuff”.

Yeah, but “Lucifer’s Hammer” has a happy ending, if your tired of your job.

Women, children and minorities hardest hit. Just blame it on Bush.
