Hello Matteo, Jamie, and List,

Unfortunately there is no crater information in the 5th issue of the
Catalogue. Those among us who still have access to the BBB (the
Big Blue Book = 4th edition of the Catalogue) know that Eagle Butte
is mentioned as a doubtful feature:

A disturbed area, 10 km in diameter and 30-40 million years old, may be
meteoritic, P.B. Robertson and R.A.F. Grieve, Journ. Roy. Astron. Soc.
Canada, 1975, vol. 69, p. 1, but compare T.B. Haites and H. van Hees,
Journ. Alberta Soc. Petrol. Geologists, 1962, vol. 10, p. 511. Bore
holes and electric log data for the structure, H.B. Sawatzky in, Impact
and Explosion Cratering, eds. D.J. Roddy, R.O. Pepin and R.B. Merrill,
Pergamon Press (New York), 1977, p. 461.

... and, to make matters worse, it is also mentioned in a list of known
terrestrial impact craters in an article by the famous R.A.F. Grieve:

GRIEVE R.A.F. (1991) Terrestrial Impact: The Record
in the Rocks (Meteoritics 26-3, 1991, 175-194).

The author does not explicitly state whether it is to be considered
"doubtful" or not whereas the BBB entry clearly says so :-(

BUT:

Let's now have a look at some highlights of Mr Schimpf's tirade. A
look at some key words will suffice, and, ... incidentally Mr Schimpf's
family name (probably of German descent) can be translated by "rant"
or "rave" - once again, nomen est omen :-)

And now for the key words:

> IDIOT! - liars - hell - penis - ass - stupid
> empty space in your head - rediculous (note
> the spelling!) - sorry ass - big mouth - ass

And now your homework, boys and girls:

Would you please write a short summary about "Schimpf"
and "Schande", in English about "ranting" and "shame"


:-)
