quote:

A man was killed after being struck by a meteorite in India over the weekend, apparently becoming the first person in recorded history to die in such a manner.

A bus driver, identified as V. Kamaraj, died after suffering severe injuries while he was walking close to the cafeteria at the Bharathidasan Engineering College, where the object hit, according to the Wall Street Journal. Three others were injured in the blast.

“There was a noise like a big explosion,” G. Baskar, principal of the college in Tamil Nadu’s Vellore district, told the newspaper. “It was an abnormal sound that could be heard till at least 3 kilometers [about 2 miles] away.”

Patented Indian bobble head maneuver was not effective in avoiding the meteorite.

Surprised that thing didn't take out more when I read it was in India. Hell that meteorite hits in a dump in India, 37 killed.

That's so odd. I was daydreaming about getting hit with a meteorite the other day while out on a run. Kind of a cool way to go out, I guess.

I read somewhere that Indians (dots not feathers) have the second-smallest penises by ethnic group.

The universe pretty much shat on poor Mr. V. Kamaraj.

What a strange factoid to bring to the discussion.
