    Peasants living near the crater said they had smelled a sulfurous odor for at least an hour after the meteorite struck and that it had provoked upset stomachs and headaches.

    But Jose Isisuka, a geologist for the institute who was studying the crater, said he doubted the reports of a sulfurous smell.

    Modesto Montoya, a member of the medical team, was quoted by Lima daily El Comercio as saying fear may have provoked psychosomatic ailments.


    I know sulpher when I smell it. I can tell the difference between sulpher and... say... flatulence for instance. I guess ole Jose may not even believe that a meteorite struck the earth. Must be a sink hole... or a stink hole. Chupracabas have been known to live in those you know. We saw one emerge from a stink hole down in Alabama one time. That moon shine will give you them psychosomatic ailments and even some that are imagined too. Anyway, that son of a gun looked just like a mangy purple wallabe with tiger teeth. He come up out of that stink hole a snarlin and droolin and howlin like his rear end was on fire. It ran in circles sniffin its own butt for a few minutes then it shot out there through the trees still screamin and howlin. One feller in our party wanted to follow it but I told him I needed to find me an AA meeting... fast!
