I'm pretty much over meteor-wrongs being posted to the list but I =
stumbled across this one and had a good chuckle.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3D2204913905&catego=
ry=3D3239

My favourite bits are:

"It still has a slight smell of being burnt." after supposedly being =
found in 1924!!!

and

"Local historians recount, "For weeks, them out of towners clogged our =
streets in effort of gett'in a glimpse of the thing"."

Chokin' backa grin,

Jeff
