Well I can assure you it tastes better than # 2

factually correct, which I am sure (even with the typos) it was more than
75% correct, it still paints a very inaccurate picture of what really
happened that night at our party. Such is the case with all too many of the
meteorite stories we all see out there in the professional media, because
you do expect the media to be right nearly all of the time, and at worst
just a little biased.
