Girl: "How did you get that big scar on your arm?"
Boy: "This one? A meteorite grazed my hand when I was 14."


14 year old Gerrit Blank from Essen, Germany was on his way to school when he saw a ball of light on the sky coming straight towards him.

He heard a loud bang, felt a searing pain in his arm and saw the object bury itself into the ground.The meteorite was the size of a pea and left a big scar on his hand.


Now that's the way to get a girl's attention!
