That's one cool tale he might be able to tell his grandchildren one day.

He should be thankful it wasn't a toilet seat from a space station.

The odds of something traveling probably millions of miles through space to hit one person is pretty amazing.

My first thought, too. Service guarantees citizenship!

Guess that flew over everyone's head, Howard.

Between this and the huge numbers posting "I never heard of the word berm," I'm becoming more convinced that reading and reading comprehension is just in the dumper now.

Hint: Meteors only exist in space. Once they enter the atmosphere, they're called meteorites. Consequently, to get hit by a meteor means you're in space; otherwise, you've been hit by a meteorite.

WRONG. A meteoroid is what exists in space. It becomes a meteor when it begins to ablate in the atmosphere and emits light. But yes, if a remnant lands planetside (or on a 14 year old), it's a meteorite.

:music:That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee.

And the meteorite's just what causes the light
And the meteor's how it's perceived
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee.:music:

Except no one gives a shit about irrelevant technical details when reporting a news story. You know what he meant, I know what he meant, so it's obvious that he was referring to a meteorite even though he said meteor. I can't believe you would attack reading comprehension because of three simple letters.
