dang, lucky bastard.

meteorites are worth a ton, no?

 

[Kadarin]

Looks like they were pretty lucky that no one got hurt. It'll make for a great story, though.

 

[KeithTalent]

Awesome! Glad they're ok. :awe:

Wish I had a meteorite.

My luck, I'll be the guy that's gets killed by a tiny one while setting at my computer.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Yikes, this is not how I want to acquire a meteorite. Glad no one was hurt!

 

[Ronstang]

I hope the guy doesn't start growing grasslike plant material all over his body now.

From watching that meteorite men or whatever the show was called, they can apparently be worth more than their weight in gold. Some of the ones they dug up had un-damaged gems, I think peridots, that are worth a huge amount more than the normal stones from earth and these rocks were just full of them.

I wonder if my renter's insurance covers for space-borne objects... never checked for that before

 

[Krazy4Real]

Wow.. that's crazy!

 

[foghorn67]

Those are space peanuts.
