If your house got hit by a meteorite, you’d think it was a weird coincidence. I mean, that doesn’t happen every day. What if it got hit again? And again? And again?

The AP is reporting that Steven Spielberg is quitting his role as artistic advisor to the Beijing Olympics because of China’s stance on human rights.
