"Distribute otherwise performance hesitates with nightly streaking!"(6,7) Nice and easy.

Meteor showers. Did you manage to catch them during the night Dave? Truly spectacular.

And there was one really bright one that went almost horizon to horizon and left a plasma trail hanging in the air for a couple of seconds. That one was one of the most impressive I have EVER seen. Of course one must be cautious if a meteorite lands near you. Do not attempt to pick it up as it will be ferociously cold and would take your skin off.

That's exactly how the Day Of The Triffids began. That's why I didn't watch.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Er... ? The few brief seconds when the surface temperature is very high does not impart much heat into them, but the millions of years in space makes them cold. Once they land, that surface temperature is soon reduced and the core has virtually no heat in it at all. They are frequently found with frost on them.

QI isn't the best of sources you know.[^]
If a large lump of ice is fired through a blast furnace, and you put your hand on the the bit that survives, will it be hot? It is only the surface of the meteorite that gets hot, and most of that will be ablated. Once the atmosphere has slowed it down it doesn't have enough energy to friction heat it again and at 50 miles up it is still very cold. By the time it hits the ground it is frozen again. The core does not get hot at all and remains at -270 degrees for a while, slowly warming, but only to the ambient temperature of the environment. Who needs QI when one has a degree in physics and the ability to reason?
