I thought this might be another hoax email, but the story really was carried
on Reuters...

Man escapes unhurt from human excrement ice ball
MADRID, Jan 12 (Reuters) - A Spanish man narrowly escaped injury when a
four-kg (nine-pound) ball of ice -- thought to be frozen human excrement
ejected from a passing aircraft -- fell on his car near the southern city of
Seville, authorities said.
The man was about to enter the vehicle when a friend stopped him for a chat.
The ball of ice, measuring 20 centimetres (eight inches) in diameter, then
plummeted out of a cloudless sky and crushed the car's bonnet.
An official at Spain's Meteorology Institute said investigators were
examining a fragment of the iceball which was collected by police at the
scene.
