20 thoughts on “Blame Canada”

  1. Indeed that is Barringer Crater, more famously known as Meteor Crater, just off I-40 in Arizona.

    Which I suppose to a Canadian intern might as well be on another planet.

    And they say we Americans are untraveled…

  2. Talk about incompetent. There are no craters on the Moon with a >buildingroad< in the same photo!

    Layers of fact-checkers? Apparently not for the photos…

    1. Fortunately nobody was home at the time! However, when grilling burgers and hot dogs out on the patio, it is advisable to wear a hard hat.

      1. I may be old, but I don’t remember this event. But I have been there. The visitor’s center mentions other strikes in NA as well. The big one near Kentland, Indiana no one remembers either. Water and erosion have done a number on that crater.

        1. I think you’re thinking of me. A long, long time ago I related in these comments a story of a Southwest Airline flight I was taking for business, whose captain had the best cockpit joke I ever heard. He came on the P.A. and said “Those of you on the right side of the plane can see Meteor Crater, where 40,000 years ago a giant meteor smashed into the Earth. And look, it just missed that house!”

          1. Having been to the Tyco Crater Visitor’s Center, should I apply to the CSA for my astronaut wings with moon mission patch? (I *knew* I should’ve keep my admission ticket receipt!)
