"And yesterday, I stepped in to the door, and my children still remembered
my name".

"After NASA's press conference was over, that the meteorite I found in
Queensland, has been proved to be from Venus, Bevan promised me, that I will
get a new prison cell with an own toilet!"

"I centupled the purchase budget of the Paris collection,
 when I arranged the fusion of the Nat.Hist.Mus. meteorite section with the
Munich chamber pot museum."

"I can pronounce Wietrzno-Bobrka for- and backwards."

"Chicago-Steve asked me to be his valentine."

"I eat CVs and sh.. UREs."

"My blood group is W0".

"I set up a macroscope for fat sections."

"They humbly asked me to take care for their Allan Hills 84001, and
Semarkona! And I answered: I might take that into consideration some time,
if my spare time allows!"
