Forwarded from Andi Gren, who doesn't come through neither
(well Andi, at least I would pay a good price for that L6, if it will hit a
certain person in Illinois...just a joke):


Hi Tim , List , all involved in this interesting treat,

Your suggestion about the Asteroid wiping out half of the planet and then be
sold on e bay brings me back to Meteorites.
When I have seen the first time a picture from the Lady hit by the
Sylacauga Meteorite, I was happy to know it's not reported a Meteorite ever
kills a person. It makes our hobby in some way more peaceful. But I always
asking my self what would happen if a Meteorite would kill a person? The
Hammers and Cow killers are well paid and I know Sylacauga was very very
well paid at a meteorite auction this year at the Tucson show.
So would the Meteorite be the most expensive L6 ever been sold? Ore would
nobody like to own a slice of a human killer hammer? Ok, I'm sure everybody
would agree an impact kit is out of respect, but what's about the Meteorite,
who would like to own a human killer Hammer?

best greetings
Andi


We are a society that starves our grandchildren to feed our children.

All the signs are there to prove that Mother Earth cannot take anymore of
the pollution and the destruction we throw at her.
We are seeing increasing numbers of Tsunami's, Volcanic eruptions and
Earthquakes even here in England we are experiencing this.

One really sad thing I see is one day an Asteroid comes and hits us and
wipes out half the planet I see unfortunately some humans would try and
drag the remnants of it away and attempt to sell it on Ebay because cash
is all that is worshipped.
