Hi Doug, You made my point re Sylacauga. Just because it wasn't a "direct hit" doesn't mean it did not hit a human. As for "Hammer stone" - it goes like this: I coined the term "hammer" for meteorites that "nailed something" - Meteorites that struck a man made object, dog, cat, cow, human, etc. The meteorite, itself is a "hammer." Therefore, referencing a "hammer stone" is entirely redundant. (like saying a "car car"). Hope that clears it up. Best wishes, Michael (PS: I do hope the door mat had the Classic "Welcome" on it, so the little feller felt wanted!) . Received on Thu 27 Mar 2008 03:35:33 PM PDT |
