It sounds very suspicious, because most meteorites aren't hot when they
land. Of course, we don't really know for sure what caused the great
fire, some say that the cow rumor was invented to blame it on Irish
immigrants. I have also heard that it was started by sunlight passing
through a goldfish bowl, which is even more fanciful. Who knows?
