Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits...
So this rock falls from the sky near a remote village in Peru. Shortly afterwards, a strange smell wafts into town and residents start becoming sick; massive headaches and vomiting. Officials who were sent to investigate also became ill, having to receive oxygen masks and hospitalization.

Group attacks can be unleashed when everyone in the group shouts the same attack, at...

I have eReader installed on the Q1P, which is why I alluded to not needing it on my smartphone. Let’s think about this for a second. My UMPC has an extended battery,...
