Hi Steve,

I think there is a certain type of people who like to buy something to just prove it
can't happen to them or fascination of such objects that are cursed. I can't for the
life of me think why a meteorite would be cursed even if it did fall on a horse or
some other animal. The New Concord Meteorite is also alleged to have hit a horse with
no ill consequences that I know of yet.

I also think there are people who buy this material so they can contain it. There have
been several people on the radio recently with similar stories and I can't help
believe that it is some sort of gimmick to get people to buy these items. In the radio
show they were selling also. Why not give it away? The guy said he had to sell it so
the ownership would be transferred. He was selling for more than a dollar though :-)
