03 Mar A modest proposal for meteorite warnings

They can strike without without warning – anytime, anywhere.

Contrarian reader Jim Guy proposes an innovative addition to the CBC’s weather warning arsenal:

Perhaps they should engage their meteorologists to prepare daily meteorite reports. These reports would focus on the probabilities of our island being smattered by rogue meteorite impacts, with police interviews reminding us to wear our headgear to work when meteors are in the vicinity.

You can never be too careful in this world where the margin of safety is small.
