That link is a marvelous side track ! I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks.
Although, > I < am an exception.
I have this meteorite which I found not long ago on the outfield of our local high school ball field.
It was still almost hot when I picked it up, heavy puppy. The surrounding turf was actually all scuffed up from its impact. I carefully brought it home and promptly wrapped it in tin, or what ever it is (Al?) foil, and am about to photo it and place it on ebay for auction.
For you I can make a special price deal, as seen on late night TV. (is it TV anymore or what ?)
There you are, special deal for you.

Thanks again for the great link.

Pay particular attention to the rude admonishments, because in all likelihood:
“I’m sorry, but you have not found a meteorite.”

Amazingly: “most things that fall from the sky are not meteorites.“
