     Hi, Guys!

         Thinking of nicely named places for a meteorite to fall?

         How about STONEY LONESOME (Indiana)? Good for a chondrite...
         Not to mention HOOKER (Oklahoma) and HAPPYLAND...
         My father was born in SHAKE RAG CORNERS (Illinois)?
         While you were in Arizona, why did you forget MONKEY'S EYEBROW?
         What are the chances of finding a lunaite in MOON (Kentucky)?
         Michigan waits for meteorites to fall in CLIMAX, GAY, and HELL!
         North Dakota boasts both MOTT and HOOPLE!
         A very ordinary stone might land in BORING (Oregon).
         But I reckon that TEXAS is the all time winner of meteorite
     place names just waiting to happen, with Bangs, Camelot, Cut and
     Shoot, Dripping Springs, Earth, Gun Barrel City, Happy, Lazbuddie,
     Lolita, Muleshoe, Nacogdoches, Needmore, Notrees, Old Glory, Pep,
     Schertz, Turkey, Tuxedo, Twitty, Valentine, Study Butte, Royalty,
     Zunkerville, Bigfoot, RingGold, Petty, Boston, Old Boston, New
     Boston (all three!), Chocolate Bayou, Needville, Oatmeal, Blanket,
     Flat, Moss Hill, Honey Island, Egypt, and Rosebud!
