None of these nutjobs have any idea how to build a decent-looking website. LOL. If you are going to push a load of bullshit on to the world, at least make a professional-looking website to do it. -- ---------------------------------------------------- www.galactic-stone.com www.facebook.com/galacticstone www.twitter.com/galacticstone www.pinterest.com/galacticstone www.instagram.com/galacticstone www.ello.co/galacticstone www.tsu.com/galacticstone ---------------------------------------------------- On 6/7/16, Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> wrote: > Lunar schmooner! > > None of these hold a candle to "The World Record Mars Meteorite"!!! > > http://www.gfoundit-mars.com > > ;-) ;-) > > PS.
