The story is true! This is why I sold all of my meteorites! Last year in
Tucson I noticed one of the Russian meteorite hunter's ears were much bigger
than the year before and his girlfriend was at the pool and she had a cute
little furry tail!
I am sure glad that I sold all of my Brahin before I got dain bramage!
