redcliffe writes "The BBC has a story about a 14 year old North Yorkshire girl who was hit, on the foot, by a meteorite. Where's Bruce Willis when you need him?" The young Miss Carlton notes: "This does not happen that often in Northallerton"; no doubt the City of York is where most meteorites land.

  2. This was my nightmare. . . by MyHair · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I had a dream a couple of nights ago about a meteorite crashing through the roof of my room and smashing my server right through the RAID array.

    Now I'm going to have more nightmares . . .

    Well, at least the meteorite in my dream didn't hit the tape backups 6" away from my server. I would've only lost a few hours of data.
