Re: [meteorite-list] Weird Meteorite-Related News Story
Geoff, Interesting story. I noticed this at the bottom of the story: For more than 20 years, Budnick tried to file and peddle mining claims in such diverse places as George's Bank, the asteroid belt, Mars and the moons of Jupiter. After trying several states without success, he finally persuaded Texas authorities to accept his astral mineral rights claims in 1984. Texas is a bit unique and far more liberal than most other states about filing and eventually granting and /or recognizing land claims. Just because the claim is not on our particular planet is somewhat irrelevant to our state government boneheads. Please Note: My own claim for the dark side of the moon is still pending but I expect it to be approved soon.

To think, we might have seen this character at the Springfield show? Mining claims on Mars, indeed? Sounds like our kind of guy. Geoff N. p.s.

You said that there is no dark side of the moon. And there is ALWAYS a dark side of the moon, just like there is ALWAYS a dark side of the Earth. It is the side that happens to be facing away from the Sun at any given moment. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
