Hi List, Regarding the controversy surrounding the definition of a hammer, I have a thought to share.
Recently, someone Steve Arnold reported his "dam meteorite", and this has led to the inevitable debate as to whether the stone qualifies as a hammer because the dam is a man-made construct. I would like to suggest that *every* meteorite that strikes Earth is a hammer. Why? 1) God created humans in his own image. 2) Therefore God is a human. 3) God created Earth. 4) Since God is a human, that means the Earth is a man-made construct. 5) All meteorites are hammers. My collection of hammers just jumped from 13 to 74! I would like to further suggest that a meteorite that falls on a dam owned by the church is a...... Nevermind. ;) Best regards, MikeG ......................................................... Michael Gilmer (Louisiana, USA) Member of the Meteoritical Society.
