That's some good news that we don't have to wear those heavy lead suits anymore... ;) This is especially wonderful when you walk 10-20 miles a day in the 110 degree desert heat.

Many people mistakenly think meteorites are radioactive. It's one of the more common misconceptions, and a question we all get from new meteorite enthusiasts and curios types.

I hope this is Ireland's newest meteorite fall!

Mike and List,

   Part of the news quote stated:

" People can pick it up. There is no kryptonite or any crazy
   substance that would poison or radiate a person."


   What!??? You mean I DON'T have to wear that heavy lead suit anymore whenever 
I hold a meteorite??? That's going to make things so much more comfortable! Why 
didn't someone tell us this before?

But, Mike, seriously thanks for the post. I do hope pieces end up being found. I just couldn't resist commenting on that guy's statement.
   Best wishes,
   Robert Woolard
