And the litter box of your cat is filled with crunched Chassigny. ....and if the meteorite curators are talking about you, they all say - you're a fine man and they think you and your kin are making a great job for them. ....O.k. the last was so far the most impossible point of the fun thread. :-( -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com] Im Auftrag von wahlperry at aol.com Gesendet: Donnerstag, 27. Januar 2011 17:29 An: meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com Betreff: [meteorite-list] Fwd: The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World The smallest meteorites in my collection are the main masses of Hoba, Cape York and Mbosi, just to name a few. All of the large meteorite museums house their collections in my vault, kept alongside of the remains of Howard Hughes. The rhinestones on my dog's collar are made from the Nakhla meteorite. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias B?rmann <majbaermann at web.de> To: Alexander Seidel <gsac at gmx.net>; Martin Altmann <altmann at meteorite-martin.de>; meteorite-list <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Thu, Jan 27, 2011 2:39 am Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World When I meet meteorites and say "hello", I always hear them whispering: "Hi, Dad!"----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Seidel" <gsac at gmx.net>To: "Martin Altmann" <altmann at meteorite-martin.de>; <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com>Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 4:05 PMSubject: Re: [meteorite-list] The Most Interesting Meteorite Man in the World>>> "My blood group is W0".>> "I set up a macroscope for fat sections.">>> I?m oriented!
