“I bet these occur more often than previously thought.”

The object got kicked out of its own neighbourhood by a violent gravitational push — maybe from a nearby planet, maybe from a passing star.

If I was here, I’d be more worried about a house falling on her head and losing her red slippers.

The Almighty is throwing little rocks at our window. Perhaps he is standing down on the lawn with a boom box.
