That site has meteorite-related "spoofs" often-- I haven't checked to see if they were all written by the same guy, but if so, whoever told him he had talent and creativity as a writer was lying to him. I only hope, for his sake, that he is still in High School, because I hate the idea of an adult writing such banal, sophomoric stuff.
