The history of hammers?

Hits for hammer used for meteorites as,well, as hammers, per year of this
list:

2001   zero
20022 (Captain B. commercial)
2003   24 (mainly Park Forest  dealers)
20044 (Worden article)
2005   10 (mainly jokes about the hammers concept)
2006  103 (eeek, it went out of control!)
2007  116
2008 iiih it's too horrible to continue!


Walter, Walter, what have you done???!!!

Kids, I declare the year 2006, to be that year, when the hammer was
invented.

...and since then, we have to pay suddenly 3-10 times more for the good ol
falls afflicted
and each and every falls-addicted prays, whenever the news of a possible
fall or shower goes round, that no crumb hasn't hit anything else but the
ground, for him being able still to afford a little piece.

It started as a harmless fun and was turned into a very successful marketing
campaign.
Respect!

And we're singing: Hit the Road, Jack!

PS: The holes hysteria wasn't so everlasting.
Maybe we could combine them..
Hammers with holes, which hit holes...

Now...getting back to fantastic meteorites... here's a picture of a
real hammerstill on Svend's website but now in my own
collection...

Check out the third picture down and read the description on his great
website...probably my favourite acquisition.

Having seen this specimen in the flesh a few weeks ago, I have to agree it's 
amazing. To think it was used so long ago as a tool, probably by many 
generations, it truly is something special.
