The rate of meteroites hitting earth is probably the same as always. We just have more reporting, greater numbers of people with cameras and much more efficient communications networks to hear about it all. I just wish this hadn't happened in India. Some people there are bound to think of this as some superstitious sign form a God. When I was there in 1982/3 there was a partial solar eclipse and everyone stayed indoors in fear that they'd somehow become contaminated by being outside. I was the only one outdoors, on a rooftop observing the event- a 14 year old mad at the whole town for not knowing any better.

It's spiify because now they can dig the meteor out of the ground and sell it for big bucks, and buy some tin for their roofs.

Saw a meteor the other day. Didn't blow up or make a noise though. Why can't these things land near enough to me so that I can swipe it and sell it? I need the money.

This is the second time this story has been posted on Fark, the editing of the site has really gone downhill.

God must have been angry with them.
or God must have loved the victims very much to take them home.

Or maybe it was leprechauns.

...or a pimento.

I'm wondering where you get a Thatched house with glass windows.

"that shattered several windows as the object sped overhead."
