I would hate to be in the impact zone, the sound it made when it hit the ground was like a bomb going off. Glad to see it missed you though.

The panic and confusion that followed Friday's meteorite crash quickly gave way to typical Russian black humor and entrepreneurial instincts.

Several people smashed in the windows of their houses in the hopes of receiving compensation, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Others quickly took to the Internet and put what they said were meteorite fragments up for sale.

One of the most popular jokes was that the meteorite was supposed to fall on Dec. 21 last year -- when many believed the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world -- but was delivered late by Russia's notoriously inefficient postal service.

a day or 2 ago I heard about it on Fox News, and an hour later Russia told Fox something like the USA didn't mean to do it but it was a weapons test. And "nothing can fall out of the sky."
I just thought that was funny.

Hope no-one was hurt

I wonder what Russia has done to offend the celestial beings - they got hit in 1908 as well!

They probably have conquered too much land

Now the divine laws of probability punish them with more meteorites than other countries
