What rumor? We are serious about such things. It is more likely this type of
voracious mollusk swallowed the meteoroid by mistake, and then ended up with
a blockage in its' bowel that just wouldn't clear.

Most of the bulky mollusk in those days probably could take a direct impact
hit...almost like water off its' back you might say. I like the swallowing
theory a little more.

Feeling the same pain on occasion,

John
