A 14-year old German boy was hit in the hand by a pea-sized meteorite that scared the bejeezus out of him and left a scar.
“When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still going fast enough to bury itself into the road,” Gerrit Blank said in a newspaper account. Astronomers have analyzed the object and conclude it was indeed a natural object from space, The Telegraph reports.
Most meteors vaporize in the atmosphere, creating “shooting stars,” and never reach the ground. The few that do are typically made mostly of metals. Stony space rocks, even if they are big as a car, will usually break apart or explode as they crash through the atmosphere.
There are a handful of reports of homes and cars being struck by meteorites, and many cases of space rocks streaking to the surface and being found later.
But human strikes are rare. There are no known instances of humans being killed by space rocks.
Secret Identity: Gerrit Blank, 14-year-old boy somewhere in Germany.
Powers: After being struck in the left hand by a small meteorite, Gerrit developed small cosmic powers in that hand. His hand can fly, and is powerful enough to take the rest of him with it. His hand also glows in the dark, shoots a beam of raw energy hot enough to boil an egg, and has the strength of several hands.
Weaknesses: lead, rubber suits, and pretty girls

Baby bounces out window, lives

(The Denver Post) – A 2-year-old girl bouncing on a bed bounced out an open second-story window in Westminster today, but the toddler appears to have escaped with only cuts and bruises, authorities said.

Secret Identity: unknown, 2-year-old girl in Westminster, Colorado.
Powers: Body seems to be composed of a rubber-like material, drastically reducing vulnerability to many forms of physical trauma and allowing controlled bouncing movements of various degrees. Extraordinary powers akin to rubber’s flexibility and malleability may surface in the future, but are so far undetected.
Weaknesses: heat, fire, too much friction, extreme cold

Baby With 2 Faces Born in North India
Apr 8, 10:11 AM (ET)
SAINI SUNPURA, India (AP) – A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali’s facial features are duplicated – she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.

Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.
Up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings, Singh told The Associated Press.
“Lali is God’s gift to us,” said Jaipal Singh, a member of the local village council. “She has brought fame to our village.”
Village chief Daulat Ram said he planned to build a temple to Durga in the village.

Lali’s condition is often linked to serious health complications, but the doctor said she was doing well.
“She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties,” said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery.
* * *
Singh said he took his daughter to a hospital in New Delhi where doctors suggested a CT scan to determine whether her internal organs were normal, but Singh said he felt it was unnecessary.
* * *
Let’s say Lali stays healthy, but that her unexamined internal organs and chemistry and so forth are different than normal folks’. Let’s say that when she reaches puberty, she grows multiple pairs of arms and becomes incredibly strong, that she is indeed the reincarnation of Durga and destined to become on this world the force of divine retribution. Wouldn’t that be cool?

‘Magnetic Boy’ keeps crashing computers
Experts are baffled as to why the youngster has the bizarre power but believe it is down to the unique amount of static electricity he produces.
***
“I think there’s something in his body chemistry, something in his makeup that causes the computers to go haywire.”
***
Static experts have been called in to monitor the youngster but have been so far unable to pinpoint the cause, admitting that his super-static ability remains a “mystery”.
Secret Identity: Joseph Falciatano, a 12-year-old student from Lura Sharp Elementary School in Pulaski, New York
