Huge crater in Egypt. Although if Google maps (or equally Google Earth) has its borders right more than 50% of it is in Libya. Original PR.

Phew. When I read "huge crater in Egypt" my first thought was "my god, what has GWB been up to now?" :-S

Ah; I knew about the desert glass (thank you, Neil Gaiman) but thought that was due to a much later (and smaller) airburst event described by a number of catastrophists as being partly responsible for the ~2200 B.C. collapse of the Old Kingdom, as described in the Admonitions of Ipuwer (http://www.touregypt.net/admonitionsofipuwer.htm).

But why the utterly irrelevent mention of Chicxulub Crater (Chicxulub Crater) at the end?

If no-one's tried it, it's *theoretically* possible that a bacon vege burger would taste better than a vege burger or a bacon cheese[1] burger. Some good foods are discovered as accidents or substitutions :)

[1] Note to vegetarians: a cheese burger isn't what you might hope ;)
