Move, Dummy!

A Russian who lives near within the path of falling rocketry from Russia's space industry is suing for a million rubles.

BARNAUL, Russia (Reuters) - A shepherd is suing Russia's space agency for compensation after he said a 10-foot-long chunk of metal from a space rocket fell into his yard, just missing his outdoor toilet.

Boris Urmatov, who is asking for 1 million roubles ($42,000) from the Roskosmos agency, lives in a small village that lies underneath the flight path of rockets taking off from the Baikonur launchpad Russia leases in nearby Kazakhstan.


Get a clue. If you wake up and there's a used rocket engine in your privy, it's time to move, because you might not live to win your lawsuit.
