meteorite

A German boy is the first person in over 50 years to get struck by a meteorite and live to tell the story. Wired.com reports the boy was walking home from school when the meteorite hit his hand, leaving a 3-inch scar. The meteorite then crashed to the ground, creating a foot-wide crater. It should be noted that the meteorite was only pea-sized.
