I was looking through Bob's old catalogs (marvelling at some of the old
prices... I wonder if Bob will let me purchase some of the pieces as listed
in his 1983 catalog!)
Anyway - take a look at the picture in the 1992 catalog, page 59
Definitely cracked me up - Someone is a comedian :)

I've always assumed that small comet
fragments came from the complete breakup of
the parent comet (didn't you?). But it appears
that comets can produce many, many small
comets without suffering any apparent harm.
Or maybe this is the way comets break up...
slowly?

There are tons and tons of slag along the roads and railroad tracks in
Pennsylvania. My guess is the stone is a piece of slag. It would be good to

I've seen some UNWA meteorites that look a lot like the stone you are

Hi, Steve, List,
the event horizons are so small it would require speeds
faster than light for them to suck any new matter in.
The definition of the "event horizon" is that it is like
