how cool is that. check out the pic of the hole in his roof :D
the average homeowner should expect to repair direct meteor damage every hundred million years.

Imagine what that rock is worth though. Bet he could cover the damage and pocket some if he finds a buyer.

No I'm serious!

I WANT A METEORITE!

Those things are worth a freaking fortune! Plus, you get the kudos of heving the world's press beat down your door for a week...

There is a guy who's actually been hit by a meteorite. I remember seeing a photo somewhere - he had one helluva bruise too. :)

Somebody chuck a rock in the direction of Mobi's house :)

I dunno, I think I'd be willing to sacrifice my roof in exchange for a meteorite landing in my house.

I have a feeling Mobi's not the only one that wants a meteorite to fall through his roof.

This is actually true guys. I've heard of good ones going for tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.
