Spiritmage57 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is just a school project for writing, so nothing too major, it'll get me an A :) And, just so you know, I'm not gonna go into writing. Sorry to all the people that really really enjoyed this thread.:) By the way, every week I have to do this assignment, so check in for the next ones that I have, I'll add a few more to this soon, so check in every once in a while to see the news in a way that you can give your own advice to. Please read through this and post your thoughts afterward. Article 1: Meteorite Strikes Home in New Jersey January 6, 2007. What was it? A meteorite. ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s right, a small meteorite slammed through the roof of a home in the New Jersey suburbs this week, wrecking a second story bathroom and lodging itself on the wall. This was only the second meteorite ever found in New Jersey, and it was ripped straight from, what could have been, the belly of a giant astroid. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a pretty exciting find,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà ~Every party has a pooper. That's why they created toilets.~~Studies show that 64% of teenagers are bad at math. If you are one of the 48% who isn't, put this in your sig.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deloriagod Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Wow.. Personally, I'd sell that and have my house repaired. Not much fun trying to use the toilet when it's raining and you have a hole in the roof, now is it? :P Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dragon_Reborn Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Cool I guess. Not much of a fan of Space although I find it interesting. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

cadburys_egg Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Does this need to fill any particular criteria? Personally it's pretty short right now. Remember to paragraph. :P Just showing you how I would've written it of same length: January 6, 2007. Meteorites are not just in science fiction. A couple in New Jersey found that out but not in a pleasant way! A small meteorite struck the roof of a home in the New Jersey suburbs this week and quickly ripped through a second story bathroom and lodged itself into the wall of the house. Although this seems uncommon, this was infact the second meteorite ever to hit New Jersey! It's believed that it had dislodged from a larger meteroite passing by Earth. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅIt was a pretty exciting find,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownmasterofnothing Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yea I saw that on tv the other day. Would suck if it hit your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yea I saw that on tv the other day. Would suck if it hit your head. Would suck pretty bad. Almost dead-like, y'know? :lol: ... Damn that smiley sucks. Anyway, i think they would either sell the meteorite, or make it into an exhibition. They would probably make enough money not just to repair the bathroom, but get a pretty decent house extension! ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screech1992 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think you're kind of a bastard if you sell a meteorite that slammed into your house... I mean, it's scientifically proved that a meteor will crush earth someday in the future. could be tomorrow, could be in a million years. But by research and technological improvement we might someday be able to create something that will be able to prevent incoming meteors from hitting the earth (giant catching-nets, super-lasers?). However, if people like the ones mentioned in NJ choose money over life - by not sharing stuff which scientist are gonna need for their research - you're pretty dumb and selfish towards the people in the future.

Spiritmage57 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Just for the people above me, they do have lasers actually, maybe i'll do something on them in the future.

IMO I've not heard of this theory about a meteor crushing the Earth some day. The "End of the World" theory I've lived by is the end of the Sun. So call me a [bleep] for wanting my house fixed rather than letting some scientists look at a meteorite that damaged my house. If they want it bad enough, they can go buy it back.

IMO The thing wrecked your house! At least sell it for the cost of repairs. If they were selling for millions on Ebay, it would be unethical. For 3000 bucks to fix a roof and support structuring, I don't see a problem. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scientists probably get billions in funds for researching anyways, if the people want a few thousand dollar to fix the roof, I think they can let it slip by.
