I bet Hamei's dollar to the first ten takers that insurance company dont pay
up.


My thoughts exactly. Somewhere in the policy, buried in fine print, there's
bound to be a clause excluding damage due to falling space rocks and garden
gnomes.

Any takers ???


Forget it!!!


As a follow up check

quote

"The Archers have been paid out by their insurance company for the
damage."

But

"They will meet two representatives from Wellington's Te Papa next
week to talk about how to make a professional display with the
meteorite.

Phil Archer said the display was likely to include the couch and
ceiling which was damaged by the rock's entry into their home."

Sheesh! Has interest in science descended to the point where the human
factor and experience has to be emphasised?
