Did he ask specifically for the USA or just America? I'm not sure it would be true, if the latter!

Nope, still technically correct (which is the best kind of correct  ), because Canada has provinces, not states.

What about Mexico or Brazil (he says, with his admittedly shaky grasp of geopolitics)? He didn't say North America either!

Damn... you got me with Brazil. It has 3 states larger than Texas. 
I had taken Mexico into account though.

Yeah, they've got a few of those too.

Had the same thought. As Canada does not have states but I think Mexico does.

It's not confirmed yet but if it is, he will be the first human in recorded history to die by a celestial impact.
From CNN
What are the odds, huh. 
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

Funny, that seems to be the same odds as being struck by lightening. What a coincidence.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

No it's not. Being struck by lightning is a 1 in a million event (well 1 in .96m in the USA but who's going to quibble about the odd 4% when there's a dubious point to be made) and is therefore by the laws of Discworld an absolute certainty!

I was once hit by a Neon tube that wasn't properly attached. Does it count if it wasn't alight? 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Hardly. What about Aeschylus? Think you need to look up the word 'celestial'!
Anyway, nice to see that Chicken Licken is at last vindicated!

Okay, so you got me on semantics. However, when used in the reference of astronomy, I think the term celestial is quite acceptable. As for Aeschylus, getting hit in the head by a falling testudinidae is certainly an odd was to shove off one's mortal coil.

Consider that other victims hasnt reported. In the 1908 tunguska fall were some known victims.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Sorry, but Tunguska reported fatalities = 0!
Had there been any, however, it would still not have counted as it is believed that the meteor exploded before hitting the ground and therefore technically was never a meteorite. All the damage was produced by the shockwave from the explosion.

Wait a minute! I just looked at the video on CNN and it says that the guy was killed by the explosion.
So it would seem he was not hit directly by the meteorite.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm consistent if nothing else, and that's purrfectly fine by me.
