Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite deaths in Qingyang (Ch'ing-yang) in 1490
This Qingyang story sounds like an opportunity for the Meteorite Men series. It would be a great episode for Geoff and Steve to go there and uncover the story in detail, and possibly find some of the meteorites.

[meteorite-list] The New Decade Off Topic
Hi Al, Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy adressed this very issue yesterday. Here is his take: http://tinyurl.com/yet3axh (Bottom line-we are in a new decade because we don't measure decades the same way we measure centuries). Happy New Year regardless of the decade! Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants !

They kept saying it last night in the news media. It isn't! The new decade will begin next January 1st 2011. Just as people made mistakes about the new millinaium about nine years ago. Unless the calander started in the year 0 then we are actually finishing out the current decade. I know there is some debate about all this but I'm going with this being the beginning of tenth year of the first decade in 30th century. http://www.millenniummistake.net/frame2.htm Well enough non-sense, all my best to everyone and Happy New Year to all! --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Ash Creek House hitter Entire HAMMER STONE
Hi Michael, Fare thee well in the New Year. With reverence towards the enduring patience of the Angel that enlightens the rarest amongst us, I would more easily believe that neither of the Southerners would lie than that Cap'n Blood would not muck it up. You certainly are not to deny whatever you cannot account for. I salute you with respect due all list members. -Original Message- From: Michael Blood mlbl...@cox.net To: Mexico Doug mexicod...@aim.com; Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Fri, Jan 1, 2010 4:16 pm Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Ash Creek House hitter Entire HAMMER STONE Yo Doug and all, Well, then, Doug, either you are not telling the truth Or the person who sold the two stones was not telling the truth. I was part of that auction (as a bidder, not the auctioneer) and was told these were the circumstances and then the results of the auction. (This was well after you had implied to me you had the barn stone, yourself firmly and stated it wasn't for sale, period.) This, after I had asked about it twice earlier in about a 3 week period, you SPECIFICALLY stated: Let's try this again - I will clarify it for you. When I last told you the stone was not going anywhere anytime soon, it was intended to get to the bottom line: THE STONE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR SALE. There is nothing more to talk about. When I said I wasn't interested in talking about it (but if you insist...) - but was trying to be a nice guy responding to your barrage of tenacity and insistence, it was because IT IS NOT FOR SALE. The situation will be the same in Tucson. Perhaps I was foolish to read the above as you having the stone (which I had asked twice), as it certainly sounded like it to me. In fact, It sounds SO MUCH like that that I can only conclude your intentions Were, in fact, meant to mislead me into thinking 1) you had it and 2) You were not going to sell it under any circumstances - NEITHER of which were true. Apparently you thought it would keep me away from further inquiring in other directions which would leave the door open for you getting it later. I really don't know any other way to read your above statements. Otherwise, why not just ORIGINALLY state I don't have it? So, now is difficult to determine what you mean, exactly when you state, Michaels quoted statement is inaccurate as, once again, you Evade directness in communicating about the barn stone. Now, if my statement regarding the auction of the barn hammer and the stone that fell at the feet of the witness was inaccurate, perhaps you would enlighten us SPECIFICALLY as to what, EXACTLY in my statement, was not true? Are you saying the two stones were not auctioned off together? Are you saying they sold for a different price than I quoted? Are you saying the person in the barn is not the same person that saw a stone land near his feet? Are you saying their combined weight was not approximately 51g? What EXACTLY are you saying when you state, Michaels quoted statement is inaccurate? Please do enlighten us. Michael On 1/1/10 2:07 AM, Mexico Doug mexicod...@aim.com wrote: Michael B. wrote: The barn stone was coupled with the stone that fell at the feet of the barn owner. Michael's quoted statement is inaccurate. (Kindly note that my comment and his quote are both unrelated to the stone being sold in the ad). Many nice collectors asked me about this, and I am sorry my own challenges didn't allow me to answer most. I had nothing to do with the sale, and am now crying my eyes out over the billowin' crinolines on Maryann's flip side.

If you recall, there were two grave yard stones, One damn stone, one barn stone and one house stone. ( The barn stone was coupled with the stone that fell at the feet of the barn owner who at first thought his girlfriend Was teasing him by tossing a rock near him - The two stones Which together totaled about 51grams, sold in an ad hoc auction by phone. The Winning bidder paid $4,600 for the two. The seller Would not sell either separately). While I certainly would love to keep this entire house hitter, My finances demand I sell it. I could make more cutting it up, but it is one of the more impressive specimens I have seen and Will be heartbroken if I have to slice and dice this beauty. Note The embedded grit of the roof shingle on the face of the stone. It is 124 gr. See it here from 4 different angles: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Conglomerate.jpg Serious offers only, please.

[meteorite-list] Russian Spacecraft May Knock Away Asteroid
I've always wondered about this method. Suppose the Russians, or anybody for that matter, hits the asteroid but just makes it worse. Suppose the missile knocks it off course but it comes back sooner and is really going to hit the Earth. Suppose there are tiny people living on Apophis and they discover we are shooting at them and they decide to shoot back? http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2009/December/Russian-Spacecraft-May-Knock-Away-Asteroid/ I've been watching The Twilight Zone marathon the last few days and am very tired.
