    Woman Struck By Meteorite!

    This is good stuff...

    Pauline Aguss, 76, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, felt a sharp pain in her arm and when she looked down there was a one-inch gash along her forearm.

    She blamed a peg bag but the next day husband Jack, 76, spotted a walnut-shaped metallic rock on a garden path.

    complete story

    I'm imagining a hand bag, covered with several, sharp steel spikes.

    Something you hang over your clothes line to hold your laundry pins.

    Rereading the article it says she was hanging out her laundry so I guess she thought she cut herself on the hanger part.

    Oh yeah... maybe they still use those old style pins that are like a peg with a kerf splitting the peg end....

    make sense...
