KEF (disambiguation)
KEF or Kef can mean:
Chelyabinsk meteor
The Chelyabinsk meteor was a superbolide caused by a near-Earth asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia on 15 February 2013 at about 09:20 YEKT (03:20 UTC), with a speed of 19.16 ± 0.15 kilometres per second (60,000–69,000 km/h or 40,000–42,900 mph). It quickly became a brilliant superbolide meteor over the southern Ural region. The light from the meteor was brighter than the Sun, up to 100 km away. It was observed over a wide area of the region and in neighbouring republics. Some eyewitnesses also felt intense heat from the fireball.
On account of its high velocity and shallow angle of atmospheric entry, the object exploded in an air burst over Chelyabinsk Oblast, at a height of around 29.7 km (18.4 miles, 97,400 feet). The explosion generated a bright flash, producing a hot cloud of dust and gas that penetrated to 26.2 km, and many surviving small fragmentary meteorites, as well as a large shock wave. The bulk of the object's energy was absorbed by the atmosphere, with a total kinetic energy before atmospheric impact equivalent to approximately 500 kilotons of TNT (about 1.8 PJ), 20–30 times more energy than was released from the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima.

Alright
by: KefDude: You ready?
Kef: Yeah yeah
Dude: Alright, we're rollin'
Kef: If you show me something precious,
I will show you someone blue,
and we'll calculate what drives me straight to you
The fascination kindled like a spark becomes a flame,
and then the fire thickens,
and my heart quickens,
every measure I hear your name

Well can you feature an adorable creature
more appealing than this world has ever seen?

Evangeline
Her face made equal to the minature features
of a hand-made porcelain figurine
Dude: Did you just say "porcelain figurine?"
Kef: Well, yeah. There's only a handful of words you
can rhyme with- y'know what? Just don't worry about it.
Dude: Right.
Kef: If I ever fall abandoned on a desert made in blue,
I would only wish to spend each day with you
Essential artless charm from which impossible to wean
It only amplifies those lips those eyes and every
freckle that's in between

And you know I'll never forget you
Until I have you in my arms
Dude: Uh Dude, she's gonna think you're a stalker...
Kef: I'm trying to do a solo here
Dude: Yeah but I mean, you should think about how this
is gonna be perceived because I mean, it's a little...
Crazy you know?
I recognize and risk absurdity to call your name this
way
but I fear there might not be another way
Effortless sparkle shines around the angel in your
name,
and if I never laid my eyes on you I know I wouldn't be
the same
