Scientist are surprised by the structure of the comet Tempel 1.

Dr. Lisse described Tempel 1 as an object the size of a city "that has the strength of lemon meringue."

The Tunguska explosion and lack of any sort of impact crater makes much more sense with this new information.
The whole article is here and contains many other strange findings.
If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

God sure does like to do things the complicated way.
