If one hit you directly Shawn I guess we would have to have you taxidermied because you know you would now be worth $2 or $300,000!! :-)

Maybe the termite was so excited about the meteorite landing by it, it died from shock. I am not sure what I would do if a meteorite landed right by me, but I hope I wouldnt die from shock cause of excitement of a meteorite?landing by me. But I guess if I did die, the value would go up and if it some how came in contact with me, the price would be through the roof, or if it was a lunar meteorite :)
