Gerrit Blank of Essen, Germany, had a close encounter of the space rock kind.
Gerrit is lucky it only grazed him, he could have ended up like Fred, buried at the Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World:
(For those who can't see the inscription on the stone clearly, it says "Here Lies Good Old Fred/A Great Big Rock Fell On His Head.")
In any event, Gerrit has now had his 15 minutes of fame, and can presumably make the meteorite into a pendant or other piece of jewelry and wear it as a conversation piece for the rest of his life.
