When did the White House know about the meteorite, and why didn't they protect the house?
With my luck, if a meteor fell near me, I'd end up in the tub and all green, like Stephen King in that movie.
"Lordie, don't it itch though!"
Here is a place I found on a goog search for buying and selling space rocks.
Google Search: Recent meteorites

Do we need another class of victims? If they're just stupid, then that's ok. If they got hit by a meteor, damn, we'd just have to take care of them the rest of their lives.
REM ruined popular music. Since then all the bands have tried to emulate them. REM had a couple of good songs but boy, they sure got boring (like most of today's bands) at the end.
Looks like a dinosaur skull... Size of a grapefruit?? I bet it doesn't taste nearly as yucky as a grapefruit.
How did it get wet? I Picture a flaming hot meteorite crashing down from the sky, being red-hot, not wet like a sponge.
Two words:
The Blob.
The sheep are even more terrified than normal.
I didn't hear of any meteorites falling over your way Carch.
No meteorites over Edinburgh, granted, but as an expat Aussie a reserve the right to make sheep=shagging jibes about the Kiwis whenever possible.
That said, I'm hoping they will clean up the Poms in the cricket tonight and then the Froggies will do them in the European championships too, just for good measure.
Eh, maybe it hit some house piping.
But that it wasn't hot or didn't start a fire is a tip off the story is TRUE.
As noted by another poster, meteorites of this nature are room temperature as they fall, and do not start fires. A dead giveaway of a fake meteorite story is someone reporting finding a "glowing" rock or a rock in the middle of a brushfire or something, because movies show meteorites that way.
Looks like petrified poop from a large animal. Elephant dung maybe.
As urban sprawl spreads, the chances of getting hit by meteorites increases. I think this might be a good issue for Al Gore to get involved in. He the right man at the right time to protect us from meteorites (and windmills!).
