You can rely on the fact that if I manage to visit the Toulouse exhibition this summer, I will provide you all with some interesting photos. ;-) As for toads, escargots or anything else that might pour down on me, there is no worry either since I bought THIS at the last art exhibition I visited. FRITTI NIRODA - the METEORITE TRAP made out of baskets for deep fat fryers http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3403/5794279846_b9ab0fc403.jpg http://vimeo.com/24591320 I will carry it on top of a rod instead of a sunshade when being in Toulouse. ;-) I'm a bit worried though... Does the hallucinogenic alkaloid of a toad's skin secretion still have an effect once they are deep-fried? I don't want to be stoned before seeing the stones...

So much to do on vacation there - see this Toulouse meteorite exhibit, then go to the Space Center and Space City, the Kennedy Space Center analog and lots more, of France. Watch out if you take the low road, as nearby Toulouse was the site of a Toad-storm from an inclement thundering sky, Two shocked horsemen had to put on their overcoats while being Toad-hammered, and gallop out of their as fast as they could, to reach a stage coach also on the way to Toulouse that witnessed the event, saw many small toads still on the unfortunate horsemen's cloaks and when it passed through the spot trampled many thousands of toads of all sizes. (I wonder if the meteorite in any way biased this report?) A rain of escargot snails might have been more comical for France, but maybe they were toads, frogs, whatever -- after all the toadstorm was 1834 and even today frogs and toads are varied and not recognized by science as distinct animals. Fried frogs are a delicious part of French cuisine that is required to try for all Beefeaters attending the exposition ;-) Kindest wishes Doug -----Original Message----- From: karmaka <karmaka-meteorites at t-online.de> To: rm31 <rm31 at free.fr>; Meteorite-list <Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Sun, Apr 8, 2012 7:31 am Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Bicentenary of the meteorite of Toulouse Congratulations, Dr. Mathieu, on having organised this very interesting exhibition.

The exhibition will remain until september 2nd. This event is the materialization of 2 1/2 year of historical and scientific researches. It benefited from the early support of the Museum of Toulouse (SW France). Most of the main samples of the fall, loaned by the Museums of New York, Chicago, Geneva, London, Vienna, Stockholm, Troyes, Paris, and from the University of Tuebingen will be reunited close to their place of fall, 200 years later to be shown to the public. http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2373/invitationmtoritedetoul.jpg J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? la conference et a l'exposition qui auront lieu au Museum de Toulouse, en celebration du bicentenaire de la chute de la meteorite dite de "Toulouse", le 10 avril 1812.
