Hi all,

In my experience Nuns generally have a good sense of humor. So I see little
damage in these jokes, as long as they not become immature.

That there are Nuns interested in meteorites did not surprise me. The
Vatican hosts a major collection of meteorites, and hosted a MetSoc meeting
a few years ago. The Italian Brother Consolmagno is one of this worlds
foremost meteorite scientists. If a Brother can have this interest, then why
not a Nun? So it is not as unlikely as it might sound to some.

My first and last contribution to this "Nun-issue".

- Marco
