Re: [meteorite-list] Thank you,Cmcdon0923!
Hi Mike Ever since this "discussion" started, I could picture the minds of cartoonists (like Dorothy Norton) working overtime with the added motivation of thousands of hobbyists standing (of course with $$ in hand) on either side of the dog wondering and wagering if it's (was?) dead or not.

Re: [meteorite-list] Thank you,Cmcdon0923!
This is the stupidist damned argument I have seen in a very long time. Why fought over something that occured long before any of us were even born! WE WILL NEVER know one way or the other, Kevin, you make a great case, but in the end, it is your opinion, based on good facts, but it proves absolutely nothing. The stupid dog story is almost a century old, and will be around after we are dead. Leave it alone, people like it and you cant prove or disprove it. I am sick of this useless endless circle of Nakhla dog #$%.

[meteorite-list] Thank you,Cmcdon0923!
Dear Cmcdon0923: You wrote -- "And this was posted to the list for what reason? Was this a serious challengewas it meant to be humorous?... Yes. I'll pay $200 in serious USA currency (small bills if you insist, none of that funny new "Euro" stuff) for the 1911 "Al Ahali" newspaper. Laugh if you like. You wrote -- "do you have an issue surrounding government employees? Yes. I deal with Lee County, Florida officials all day on land use and zoning issues. They're lazy, arbitrary and stupid. I tell them this and they throw "spitballs" at me. But to the point, Ron administers an influential USA Gov. website that we USA citizens pay for. It is traditional here that our government information sites not stray "too-far" from the truth. This site knowingly distributes information that is false. As a civic-minded patriot I know that this is wrong. It is my duty to object. You wrote -- "If you have a personal beef with Ron over the Nakhla story, then handle it that way- personally." Yes. You wrote -- "Just because Ron can't prove it happened, doesn't mean it didn't." Really? Then everyone accused of a crime goes to jail. You wrote -- "Just because you can't prove it didn't happen, doesn't mean it did." Really? Illogical double negatives. What democracy are you from that forces a person "to prove he didn't commit a crime?" Ron's "law" would have you wait in jail until the Valera cow comes home (trust me, that's a l-o-n-g time) while he looks for the proof he "knows" exists. Luckily Cmcdon0923, in the USA, if there's no proof, it didn't happen and you walk a free meteorite, er, man. Have a beer on me. And take a cigar out of the box for the lady. I want to thank CMcdon0923 for so wonderfully distilling this discussion. In the primeval past, a "story" claimed that a meteorite hit a dog and killed it. So sensational it was, that officials on the scene that refuted it were ignored by the popular forces of ignorance. (What makes these forces "popular" anyway? Who wants to hang around people that start their sentences with -- "Duh." Thank God I'm on this list with you good people.) By effort (a pen, an envelope and a stamp) and serendipity, I easily found that NO evidence exists that a dog was struck by a meteorite in Egypt in 1911. Any of you would have found the same if you weren't so busy trading NWA's. I'm sure if Ron had "discovered" this he would correctly state the truth on the website he works for us citizens and at least one more asteroid would be named after him -- "Ron"-- but I don't expect or want any such honor for myself (hold your applause). And after all, NONE OF THIS IS important if we all get radioactive anthrax tomorrow. But IF WE MANAGE TO EXCAPE certain excruciating death tomorrow, than this IS the seminal meteorite "story." Boys and girls, it didn't happen. Now let's all grow up and be good little scientists and admit it didn't happen. BTW - Thank you each and every one for emailing me your favorite "Nakhla" dog (sic) photo attachments with their heads blown off, I'm touched by your sentiments.
