A satellite falls

The Americans have no idea where their satellite is going to fall - they gave some co-ordinates but it turns out they cover almost the entire inhabited portion of the planet.

We now learn that the satellite was there to monitor global warming. So, not content with telling you life as you know it was about to end, the damn thing might land on your head.

According to the Telegraph: 'NASA has warned people not to touch the debris if they come across it because it is likely to have sharp edges.'

I should have thought sharp edges were the least of the problems you might encounter.
