Hey, if this guy actually tries to do this couldn't he get into some hot
water? It says on the page that it fell in Canada, is currently in Canada,
and I'm assuming that he will probally be wanting to export it out of
Canada.

Dear Listees:

Here is the latest "steaming hot meteorite" story from eBay. I'm sure
it will be entertaining for some:

Here is the seller's description . . . verbatim!

How long, I wonder, until we see some "genuine meteor-burned mud"
from Salisbury, New Hampshire up for sale on eBay?

We talk about the "whys" and "wherefores"
Do we really care at all?
Talk about the frailty of words is rarely meaningful
When we're sitting watching the planes burn up through the night
Like meteorites
