Forgot to post this last week, so in case you missed the headlines a meteorite smashed through the family practice office of Dr. Frank Ciampi’s in Lorton, Virginia.  The palm-sized visitor was taken to the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History (hey, I was just there a few weeks ago!), where Carri Corrigan confirmed that the intruder was indeed the real deal.  Check out the video:

I knew the state of health care was bad, but when the rest of the Universe has to resort to this to get seen by a doctor? Sheesh. Can a meteorite get an MRI already? No wait!!

This is only the beginning. Ladies and gentlemen, friends and neighbors, microbes and microstates, let me be the first to tell you that pretty soon, all meteorites will be coming to Earth for healthcare. They’ll be invading our hospitals, our schools, taking good paying jobs.. heck, they already have a foothold in our museums. Don’t believe me? Apparently the SyFy channel has an upcoming documentary on how it will all go down. As you can see, not even the star parties will be safe!

(it’s Hulu, sorry out-of-staters). But to find out what happens next, tune into the SyFy channel this Saturday at 9/8c!
