Jake to me:
I think Jake has lost it here, because, had the meteorite come through the roof, it would have brought some roof material with it, yet all we see is the glass. I'm starting to think that the meteorite was pitched as a beanball from within the gallery, and that His Holiness should take a base.

Me to Jake:
Have you seen (pictures of) that installation piece
with the wax effigy of the Pope having been hit by a meteorite?
There's some broken glass on the ground nearby and I can only conclude
that the meteorite hit the Pope and then, in an unrelated event, some glass broke, because the meteorite sure as hell didn't come in from that direction.
after much searching (everyone links to the picture on
the christies page, which is no longer) i finally
found a picture and made the conclusion that the
meteroite came in through the roof, and the shaking
caused a nearby skylight to break.
This is only funny to about five people, but fortunately most of those five read this weblog. The reference is to Michael Stack, a senior software developer at CollabNet who lives the very life of Riley, and who famously calls everyone "boss".
I accidentally deleted a "stack" directory on my laptop this weekend because I thought it was a CVS checkout of stack's famous intranet homepage, but it wasn't. Oh well.

Kevin always gets much more interesting spam than I do. He sent me this one with the note "At first I thought this was spam from Stack."
