> Lima Beana, Peru (IPP) - Scientists report that the

> when it hit the Earth has been hit by another

> meteorite.

>

> Astronomer Dr. Povenmire Finootch says he is not

> surprised by this event. He told reporters that there

> is a phenomenon known as "training" wherein objects

> like meteors follow the exact path taken by previous

> meteors. Training occurs because the objects

> travelling along the same path share the exact point

> of origin.

>

> No one was hurt when the new meteorite hit. A nearby

> taco vending stand sustained minor damage. The old

> meteorite was pushed further into its crater by the

> new meteorite.

>

> Dr. Povenmire Finootch who prefers to be called Mr.

> Finootch says that scientists have discovered a new

> class of Sun orbiting objects called meteorwrongs

> which travel from Earth to space instead of falling

> from space onto the Earth or other planets and

> planetoids.
