      For most context, I got this from Wikipedia:

      “On Tuesday November 30, 1954, a meteorite fell through the skies above Sylacauga, Alabama. It split into at least three fragments,with one of the fragments falling through a roof and then landing on Hodges, who was napping on her couch. She recalled the meteorite came through her roof around 2:00 PM local time, although the official time the meteorite fell was 12:46 PM. The meteorite left a 3-foot (91 cm) wide hole in the roof of her house,bounced off a radio, and hit her on her upper thigh and hand,giving her a large bruise.”

    2. Meteorite looks depressed. It’s all like, this is BS, I traveled though space for all of time just to end here. Then it got its revenge, Ann became a home for the aliens who grew inside her after that day.

    3. Poor girl FINALLY had a quiet house to nap in…gets smacked with meteor XD. I would be grumpy too!

      I always feel a little bad for her. She didn’t want any attention and she was suddenly thrust into the limelight. Her idiot husband and their landlord fought over who really “owned” the meteorite when she was the one hit by it. Then when she finally got ownership the buzz had died down and no one would buy the meteorite.

      She looked pissed

      Either because of meteorite disturbing her afternoon nap or it making a hole in her roof or both.

      That’s one hell of a way to wake up, and she had to pay to get her roof repaired too. No wonder she looks so angry.

      If I was asked to blindly describe what “the first documented individual hit by a meteorite looked like”.. it would be this person exactly.

    8. I wonder how many undocumented cases there are of meteors killing humans.

      Imagine this – It’s the Ice Age. You leave your cave to go take a dump.

      You’re squatting down. Halfway to pushing out a turd and then, BONK!

      A meteor hit straight to the cranium.

      You drop dead with a turd sticking halfway out your anus.

    9. Looks like she tanked it and gave God the side-eye.
