I have just seen this story about a boy being hit by a meteorite travelling at 30000mph
uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090612/tod-boy-hit-by-meteorite-travelling-at-3-870a197.html
apart from the lifelong awesomeness he'll have being able to tell such a story in the pub, I hope he gets to keep it.

"Ansgar Korte, director of Germany's Walter Hohmann Observatory, said: "It's a real meteorite, therefore it is very valuable to collectors and scientists."" Sounds like someone might swipe it.

Should you be able to keep things that come from outer space if you touched them first? Or does the laws of 'bagsy' apply, allowing NASA, ESA etc, to try to keep it as they are space profeshunals.

it made a massive trough in the earth but a tiny scar on his hand?
also: he looks like a girl. and what a crap photo.

I'm assuming something to do with the fact that his hand could move backwards.

it would have gone through it
or taken it off. It may not even have hit him, just passed close enough to burn him. But still. Fucking hell.

and was it just that pebble?
or was it part of a larger meteorite? I'll have to call bullshit on it travelling 30,000 mph. It doesn't have the mass -- air resistance would have slowed it down.

I'd have got the sun in my eyes and missed it altogether. Why was he trying to catch it anyway?
