If you liked the other ice story, maybe you'll like this one just as much. :wink:
Huge Chunk of Ice Crashes Through Gym
LOMA LINDA, Calif. (AP) - A 2-foot-long chunk of ice fell from the sky and tore through a college gymnasium roof, authorities said.
No one was in the Drayson Center at Loma Linda University when the slab of opaque ice hit on Thursday morning, although several people were outside.
"They said it sounded like an artillery shell going through the air," said Rolland Crawford, Loma Linda Fire Department division chief. "It was a whistling, whooshing sound."
Crawford said authorities aren't sure where the ice came from, but university spokeswoman Julie Smith said a building repairman saw an airplane flying overhead at the time. Maintenance workers bagged the ice, stuck it in a freezer and plan to hand it over to the Federal Aviation Administration.
FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said it will take at least a week for investigators to identify planes that were in the area 80 miles east of Los Angeles by reviewing radar records. But it may be impossible to determine where the ice came from, he said.
Ice that falls from an aircraft's galley or lavatory is blue, and ice that falls off fuselages tends to be only two or three inches thick, Fergus said.
If it is blue they must be putting dye in it.Surely it should be light brown or at least beige.
It's blue because they put that blue stuff in them.
blue stuff makes it blue?

It's very blue, blue stuff.
I'm expecting somebody to break out in a song at any moment now. Edgar maybe? :wink:
It's okay. We don't need to hear your voice in this medium.
Well, I do have a little song I like to sing now and then. It's called Mangwene Mpulele.
Mangwene Mpulele
Een ya mah tee poh lah,
Mangwene Mpulele
Een ya mah tee poh lah,
Lay hi lee moo lah
lay hi lee moo lay
Een ya mah tee poh lah

Oh so lonesome for you
Why cant you be blue

Thanks Edgar and Ms Wolf. I knew I could count on youse guys.
Say, is there any money to be earned in this?
Me and shewolf might just need to form a duo. Love is Strange is a good one to start with.
People are strange
when your a stranger
faces look ugly
when your alone
women seem wicked
when your unwanted.
oops.. wrong genre..
Maybe we could form a trio.
I can clap my hands real good.
Sorry. the only musical instrument I've ever touched was a clarinet....and that was a million years ago.
Couldn't I just bang a drum, or a tamborine?
Largerphone? I can play largerphone I can too...........can I huh can i pleeeeeeeeeease?
It's amazing what you can get going on here with a mild jest.
