Okay, so maybe it was just a huge chunk of ice. But nonetheless, this actually happened and no one can explain it. The piece of ice was about 3 x 3 x 2 1/2 feet. That would really injure someone! Fortunately only a clump of grass was displaced, and it is not planning to sue.
The experts really have no idea what happened here. I was amused by the last sentence of the article :
It could simply be an unexplained "ice fall," one expert said. Big balls of ice sometimes fall from the sky without any real explanation.
What an expert! I wonder how much he gets paid for such in-depth and well-researched analysis…
I wonder if some budding evil genius was testing a climate control device. People have been working on these for years. If anyone has any info leading to who might be behind this, inform us (the Buffet o' Blog staff) promptly, because, well, we'd really like to check out this new toy!

News flash. Over my toilet recently there was an unexplained turd drop. According to experts water in the toilet splashed nearly 12 inches upon impact with the resulting mini tsunami approaching overflow proportions. No one was injured. One man reported being splashed on the backside.

The answer to this occurance is obvious. Who near the US has lots of ice? Canada. And north is always ‘up’ on maps for a reason. So Canada has lots of ice, and is above the US. The ‘experts’ come up with silly explanations to keep the masses blissfully unaware of the Canadian Ice Menace. Why do you think the US is doing all it can to speed up global warming?

Hmm… Canada, eh? Well, they have been giving the appearance that they don’t do anything, and they have been really good at giving that impression… maybe too good… But I still don’t buy it. They’re too related to the French to do something war-like.
Although the global warming conspiracy you pose is something I haven’t heard before…
About the “up” part, um, I hope you don’t give driving directions to people!
Have you ever thought about how in space there is no “up” or “north”? It’s just space. We don’t know the center, or the edges, and the whole thing is spinning at incredulous speeds. Yeah, incredulous… as in “you wouldn’t believe me if I told you”. So I ain’t gonna bother telling you… Just trust me — it’s really fast and you wouldn’t believe me. I know these things to be true.

ACK!!! CANADA IS FALLING!… CANADA IS FALLING!!!
I bet they’re enslaving hoards of moose and forcing them to use swiss army knives to chip off big chunks of ice to drop on us..
why moose? free labor! I mean how many people actually LIVE in canada… too cold! poor Moose… err… Mooses… 🙂

You also gotta appreciate Lt. Charles Glass (of the Oakland Fire Hazardous Materials) for stating the OBVIOUS!!! he said “the ice that firefighters pulled from the hole was about the same size of the hole”
Go figure??? How’d THAT happen…
