Regrettably $8K won't quite do the trick, but it will help.

Believe it or not I actually read a "Bible expert" who suggested that the impact crater was where "Satan fell from heaven like lightning" after his rebellion against God.

Without having heard of this crater before, I focused on the "cx" combination in "Chicxulub". To me, that's a strong indication of a location in Mexico related to the Maya civilization which was located on the Yucatan. It could have been an incorrect inference, but I would have gone with it and held my breath.

I note you say "was" - I know that Alvarez
pere and Alverez
fils made a lot of this, but I've seen articles suggesting that it may have been too early and that other strikes may have been responsible.
