“I hate when that happens.”
I was riding my bike with some friends about 57’ when a rock fell right out of the sky and stuck in my hand. My hand was on the handlebar and we were sitting in the middle of a schoolyard when what looked to be some kind of glassy black pointy rock suddenly appeared in it. I still have the scar and to this day I can’t figure out what happened.
“There is only one other known case of a human being surviving a direct hit from a meteor.
A grapefruit-sized meteor crashed through the roof of a house in Alabama, in the USA, in 1954.
After smashing through the top of the building, it bounced off furniture and then hit a woman who was asleep at the time.”
"I can sooner believe that a couple of Yankee professors would lie, than that rocks fall from the sky." - attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
Was there a big kid anywhere near a pile of gravel around the school yard? Just wondering.
Angry sparrows with machine-guns loaded with tiny rocks.
( Tip of the hat to Robin the Boy Wonder for that one.)
Thanks, interesting experience.
