   > No one is talking about it. It feels like a meteorite is hitting the planet and no one is paying attention.

   An unintentionally appropriate metaphor. How many of the ~17 meteorites that hit the planet per day do you pay attention to?

      You're both wrong. It only becomes a meteorite once embedded in the rock. Until then it's a meteor.

         Only if it hits the Meteoric region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling rock :)

            Hasn't there been a metoric rise of affordable california varietals?

         Sheesh, does nobody speak English any more? “Meteorites” are the members of that revolutionary faction who support more meteors.

            As opposed to the meteorgettes who are willing to use violence in support of their astronomical cause.
