Hello All,

Someone posted earlier wondering if Joel had rejoined the list. This
fellow reminds me more of dear old Mr. Frasse from a few years back.

For those of you not familiar with Mr. Frasse, he was the person that was
offering Martian insects on Ebay two or three years ago. He claimed he
had found a meteorite from Mars (which was really just a common piece of
basalt) which housed several insects from that planet in the many vugs in
the surface. One of these insects was a winged ant which he named "Wingy"
and offered on Ebay with an opening bid of $200,000 or so.

The story is rather long and involved, but it provided many of us a lot of
humor over a period of time. I won't clog up the list with any further
details but if anyone else would like to reminisce about these events we
might all get a few chuckles out of them again.

It was very obvious that Mr. Frasse was sincere in his claims and I can see
that this fellow from Deming, NM is just as convinced about his. Both of
these people could probably find a solution at the following website:

www.freeprozac.com

Best to All,

John

Hello All, 
 
Someone posted earlier wondering if Joel had rejoined the list. 
This fellow reminds me more of dear old Mr. Frasse from a few years
back. 
 
For those of you not familiar with Mr. Frasse, he was the person that was
offering Martian insects on Ebay  two or three years ago.  He
claimed he had found a meteorite from Mars (which was really just a
common piece of basalt) which housed several insects from that planet in
the many vugs in the surface.  One of these insects was a winged ant
which he named "Wingy" and offered on Ebay with an opening bid
of $200,000 or so. 
 
The story is rather long and involved, but it provided many of us a lot
of humor over a period of time.  I won't clog up the list with any
further details but if anyone else would like to reminisce about these
events we might all get a few chuckles out of them again. 
 
It was very obvious that Mr. Frasse was sincere in his claims and I can
see that this fellow from Deming, NM is just as convinced about his. Both
of these people could probably find a solution at the following

ANYONE WITH SKILLS IN METEORITE IDENTIFICATION SOME OF WHAT I HAVE FOUND
IF THEY WILL COME TO DEMING AND BRING A 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE AND PLAN TO
