A Hard Rain's a-fallin'

A 55 pound of cement powder fell out of the Russian Skies and into a suburban Moscow home last week, creating a two and a half foot hole in the owner's home.

The sack of cement was dropped by the Russian Air Force in an effort to clear up cloudy skies for a June 12th celebration of Russia's post-soviet independence. Cloud Seeding, as the procedure is known, involves dispersing Silver Iodide, Liquid Nitrogen and Cement Powder to modify the clouds.

The drop was the first gaff in over twenty years of the practice.

The owner of the cement-bombed house plans on suing.
