He should fix it before it stops his mind from wondering.

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.
