jackpot!! i think they did with the dead martian worm in it?

its funny i cant talk about meteorite's without thinking of ta line from an 80's movie? - tales from the crypt, first one? you know a collection of comic book-like horror stories come to life, with one written by and starring stephen king the writer, and a meteor lands on his farm in the midwest somewhere, and its this glowing green goo in a crater, and says the famous line, while holding some up in his hand? something like, 'ewww meteor sh*t!' its one my all time favourite lines now.

I'm pretty sure I had a small one hit my house a few years back.
I was on holiday and a friend was checking the house daily, he found a rear window with a hole in it and concluded someone had thrown something at it.
When I got home there was a hole about 1 1/4" diameter in the window and a hole in the paper blind. I thought the same as he did until I found a rock by the front door at the other side of the house and a dent in the wall. Pretty sure is was a meteorite, either that or someone has a very strong throwing arm. Unfortunately I've lost the rock over a couple of moves .
