Heavens herald the arrival of the Wii
Okay, Nintendo. You've gotten millions of hardcore gamers excited for your new, upcoming system. You've already managed to convince people who have never even held a game controller to invest in your product. But now, you're really done it. The skies themselves are clamoring for a new Nintendo Wii.
Check this: at approximately 11:45 PM on Saturday, November 18th, there will be an brief yet intense meteor shower easily visible from the eastern coast of the United States. So long as the night skies are crisp and clear, all those people camping out should be able to enjoy the show. The cause? Leonid meteors caused by dust left by the small comet Temple-Tuttle will strike the Earth's atmosphere, incinerating in flashes of bright light.
We know not if the Wii is celestial in nature, but it's one hell of a coincidence. Wii-lovers and star-gazers alike, here comes launch day.
[Thanks, Brent!]
