How the ultimate redundant eBay meteorite ad might read:

"No stone was left unturned to find this 0.1-stone stony stone,
less than a stone's throw away from the original 0.43-stone
Stonington stony stone (H5). I must be stoned to sell it,
but I'm stone-broke, so bid high and bid often -- if you have
the stones..."

Hey Adam,
I decided: The ultimative weight unit for meteorites is the British "stone"
(6.35kg = almost 14 US-pounds).

Imagine the ads: This stone has two stones. Total known weight: 30 stones,
120 stones were recoverd.
