Almanac of Absurdities 11/30

On this date in 1957, a Meteorite crashes through the roof of a house in Sylacauga Alabama, and strikes Ann Elizabeth Hodges on the side while she snoozes on the couch. She is bruised by the impact, and is the only person on record to have been struck by an object from space. Wedding Anniversary for Lucy and Desi. Birthday for the actress who played “Apollonia” in the Godfather, Simonetta Stefanelli. She’s 56 today.
