[meteorite-list] Lake Titicaca Meteorite - proposal for new name
Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world located in the land of the Incas. This area is also the center of Peruvian Forklore. Oceanographer Jacques Yves Cousteau spent eight weeks using mini-subs to explore for a 2,000 lb. chain of gold thrown into the lake by the Incas to prevent it being taken from the Spanish. A new species of frog was found in the lake. A frog that never surfaces! In the year 2000, a huge ancient underwater temple was discovered measuring 660 ft. long by 160ft. wide dating back almost 1,500 years. Additonally, naming it Lake Titicaca allows Bolivia to share. It is right on the boarder (political). There is a saying in Peru about the lake. Peru has the titty and Boliva has the caca. :) A meteorite couldn't have hit in a more beautiful place. I propose Lake Titicaca meteorite. I also propose that the met-list votes on this. Then, would anyone like to support start the submission to the Meteoritical Society?

"Dr. Daniels", dear List Members, So you want "full disclosure"? Like McCartney Taylor, I would also like to know the institution you did your PhD at... And, could you please enlighten us why you are operating under two different names, one claiming a (questionable?) academic degree? I don't know for the laws in your country, but at least in Europe it's a criminal offense to use fake academic degrees or to attach an academic degree to a fictional name. JFYI. On another issue: in several posts you claimed that you'd respect the (indigenous) people in South America, local laws, etc. pp. But then you wrote: > Additonally, naming it Lake Titicaca allows Bolivia to share. It is > right on the boarder (political). There is a saying in Peru about the > lake. Peru has the titty and Boliva has the caca. :) While the first part of your statement is true - the fall area of this new meteorite is actually not too far away from the famous ruins of Tihuanaku on the Bolivian side of the border - the people in Bolivia would certainly not be amused by your "joke"... (I seriously doubt that it's a Peruvian saying as it doesn't make much sense in Quechua or Aymara, and not even in the usual South American "Castillano".) I wonder what my old friend and teacher Dr. Jorge Miranda-Luizaga from the Ministerio de Justicia, Bolivia, would make of this, and your attitude of being a "big fish" in the Lake Titicaca (area), or in South America at large? If you like, I can ask him. You seem to believe that you can insult everyone - the scientific community by using a (questionable?) academic degree, and attaching it to the name of a Whiskey brand (I got this from one of your recent emails to this list); other meteorite hunters who did nothing else than you (buying pieces of this meteorites from the locals), and then calling them criminals; the people of Bolivia; and last but not least the members of this list by playing silly games with us. At least I'm disgusted, and sick of it. Sincerelly, Norbert Classen www.meteoris.de PS: If you respond to this email please make sure to sign with your REAL name, or am I expecting too much??? __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
