Asteroid Responsible for dino extinction

160 million years ago two asteroids beyond the orbit of Mars scientists believe might have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. William Bottke of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., said that collision sent fragments of rock hurtling across the inner solar system, doubling the rate of asteroid impacts on Earth, the moon and Mars for many millions of years. The dinosaurs were victim to one of many broken-up chunks of a once-bigger asteroid, a group known as Baptistina family asteroids, researchers say. Fragments of that same rock have been pelting Earth for eons, and we’re only about now at the end of it now. The Baptistinas comes from the 180-kilometer wide Chicxulub crater, long thought to be associated with the dinosaurs’ misfortune.
Pretty interesting huh?
Shaq Files For Divorce

Veteran Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal has filed for divorce from Shaunie Nelson, his wife of five years. The O'Neal's have four children together, and both have a child from previous relationships. Shaquille filed divorce papers in Miami on Tuesday and suspects his wife of five years Shaunie Nelson of hiding many financial assets.The Miami Herald reported Wednesday that the O’Neil’s have a ''Cohabitation/Prenuptial Agreement, Acknowledgment of Property Disclosure and Waiver of Further Disclosure with Shaquille O'Neal saying in his petition his wife "has been secretive about her assets ... particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either (her) name alone or in other entities" and that he wants the court to order Shaunie to give a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds and other securities that she came into during the marriage.” This divorce could still get very ugly if Shaq's suspicions are proven true.
