Lima Beana, Peru (IPP) - Scientists report that the
Peru meteorite which is inside the crater it created
when it hit the Earth has been hit by another
meteorite.

Astronomer Dr. Povenmire Finootch says he is not
surprised by this event. He told reporters that there
is a phenomenon known as "training" wherein objects
like meteors follow the exact path taken by previous
meteors. Training occurs because the objects
travelling along the same path share the exact point
of origin.

No one was hurt when the new meteorite hit. A nearby
taco vending stand sustained minor damage. The old
meteorite was pushed further into its crater by the
new meteorite.

Dr. Povenmire Finootch who prefers to be called Mr.
Finootch says that scientists have discovered a new
class of Sun orbiting objects called meteorwrongs
which travel from Earth to space instead of falling
from space onto the Earth or other planets and
planetoids.

The story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely
fictitious.
