Summary: 


Speaking of meteors in Amazing Stories, the science teacher asks the
students to watch the biggest meteor shower of the year.  The big
meteor shower each year is the Perseids, which happens in mid-August --
when no one is in school.  

Even at its peak, Perseids average around one per minute, not one per
second as shown through the dung-head's window.  Further, meteor
showers are all but lost in the lights of a city.

I don't even want to talk about the magnetic man attracting aluminum
objects ...
