So in one of those freak occurrences involving a meteorite striking a doctor’s office in Lorton, Virginia, a meteorite struck a doctor’s office in Lorton — and then things got weird. Cool and collected doctors Marc Gallini and Frank Ciampi, having nearly been struck by bits of space rock falling from the universe, decided to donate this chunk of ancient sky to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History — thinking that they would in turn give the Smithsonian’s $5,000 prize for the rock to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.

After the fireball came crashing through the roof of their Williamsburg Square Family Practice offices, the doctors might have easily worshiped it, crafted into a ring to undermine a local DMV superhero, pitched a show about an ER in space to the CW, or at the very least basked in the meteorite’s warm radioactive glow. Instead, the doctors decided to donate the meteorite for the sake of those recently made much worse off by an unpredictable natural calamity.
