We regularly report on ice blocks falling from the sky and the reason why this happens, but since this phenomenon is reported in local news and these stories have never been gathered together in a single national story, it continues to surprise people when it happens to them. Now a California paper reports that a woman was awakened by a loud sound, and found a block of ice had crashed through her garage roof, destroying her car.

Jannise Johnson writes in the Daily Bulletin that Anne Gavell found the damage after noticing water from the melting ice coming from under her garage door at 7:30 a.m. A neighbor reported hearing a loud crash at the house around 3:00 to 3:30 a.m.

The charges that cell phones damage the brain have died down, perhaps because newer phones emit less radiation. But a recent study shows how cell phone radiation may damage red blood cells, leading to the claims that they cause brain cancer and other diseases.

Swedish physicist Bo Sernelius has discovered that the radiation from cell phones increases the pressures on red blood cells. Before this, scientists thought the radiation from the phones could only damage cells if it was strong enough to break their chemical bonds, but it’s too weak to do this.

The dinosaurs died when an asteroid hit the Earth, but we’re determined not to. Astronomers say they’re having success in finding every large asteroid that poses a threat to life on Earth. The next step will be to look for smaller objects that could cause localized destruction if they impacted the Earth. But once they find them, what can they do about them? Nudge them out of the way.

NASA’s Lindley Johnson says, “The survey officially started in 1998 and to date more than 700 objects of an estimated population of about 1,100 have been discovered, so the effort is now believed to be over 70% complete and well on the way to meeting its objective by 2008.”
