Mike, you must be having a really good time in Panama not to be flying
off after this.

These articles are always fun though, aren't they? This is a fabulous
sentence, almost worthy of "Monty Python":

> "The impact of the stone cut 15cm deep into the earth when it landed on
> the ground and the villagers discovered that it was an object which
> looked like a stone.

Crikey! The stone looked just like a stone! I shall alert the media.


But seriously, what does this final sentence mean?

> However, a meteorite on a celestial body is a small object that has
> come
> from elsewhere in space.

I read it over and over, and it made my head go all funny. You should
try it : )

And speaking of "Monty Python" whatever happened to our friend J.
Gregory Wilson AKA Sharkkb8?
