The beans are "impacted" to thank BATW Ambassador Kurt Knitter for taking them to see this major hole in the ground!

Good afternoon Chicken Littles and soon-to-be-extinct dinosaurs, and welcome to the point of impact for one of this planet's biggest splats - the Arizona Meteor Crater. Located about 35 miles east of Flagstaff and 20 miles west of Winslow, it's here in the Northern Arizona desert that the sky literally fell some 50,000 years ago, as a chunk of an asteroid decided it would be fun to visit Earth. (Someone should have told it that Vegas wasn't built yet...) Anyway, the Big Rock From Space had an impressionable visit at 40,000 MPH, leaving in its path a giant ditch that measures out to around 4,000 feet across and 550 feet deep. One thing is for sure: The beans are mighty glad that they weren't standing anywhere near the vicinity when it came a-callin'. If you're in the area today, you can go visit the Meteor Crater Visitor Center and learn how the planet was altered by this oversized pebble hitting it. (Hint: it wasn't much fun for our prehistoric friends.) But have no fear - lightning may occasionally strike twice in the same place, but meteorites? Not likely. Anyway, the beans had a great time viewing the big ol' hole in the ground, and were curious to see what type of impact they'd make if they hit Earth at 40K miles per hour, too. But on second thought it sounded too much of a mess, so they decided to just keep moving.
