Oysteroid may hit Earth

The Giant Quahog (Andromollusca umustbprettyboredica) was spotted by amateur astromarter Jake Squidsco four nights ago from his home in rural Arkansas, after a hard day of cleaning chicken guts at the local Tightson processing facility. Using his homemade 60 inch folded detractor (made with Walmart optics), and a pocket calculator, he was able to determine that the object would indeed hit the planet in three days. Area university scientists quickly scrambled.

It has been determined that because only the outermost shell of the oysteroid is solid, unclear weapons exploded on the surface would only partially cook the interior, making the oysteroid much more angry, and possibly leading to food poisoning here on the ground after impact. It has been suggested, therefore, that a team be lunched immediately on the space shuttle to pack the object in ice (to be picked up on the way from the Moon's poles) so that it may be enjoyed raw by whoever survives and gets there first.
