Fun site for impact enthusiasts

This site was linked in a BBC article. It allows the user to enter various parameters for an object striking the Earth and calculates the effects. Given the number of threads about asteroid strikes, I thought it may be of interest to some of us. Enjoy!

ETA: Should have mentioned that the paper detailing the equations and assumptions behind the program is available on the site along with a few presets for famous craters.
