[meteorite-list] Re: My Top 10 of classic meteorite names
Super idea Mark. So the competition for the best sounding fictitious meteorite names is on! Just come up with ten names that you'd like to see in the Meteoritical Bulletin and I will award a "Meteorhall Grand Prize". More on the Prize list later, and I promise that they will have something to do with the Grand Man himself, H. H. Nininger (and the prizes have nothing to do with a Nininger toilet.) The prizes will be worthwhile. Here are the rules: 1. Keep them clean, and no hitting below the belt! 2. Have fun! 3. Entries must be posted by the 19 of December 2003. 4. I will choose 3 finalists, then I will let my dog Holbrook pull a name out of a hat. Of course I will have to tie the name tags to dog treats, but what the heck, Holbrook is nearly as qualified to decide this contest as I am, as Holbrook is a middle age dog and I'm an old dog. 5. Prizes will be mailed either just before Christmas or just after the rush, whenever I get time to go and stand in line at the Post Office. But never fear, they will be awarded before 2004. High Regards, Fred Hall/Meteorhall

Thanks Jeff, Does that mean I have to travel to Australia and ply you with two six packs of beer to find out what "Donga" means? Regards, Fred

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: My Top 10 of classic meteorite names
Those are good Dave, I thought we change the name of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite to Sikhote-Ivan. Also, Something that has been bothering Proud Tom, the IMCA rules, say we have to properly label our meteorites, Proud Tom thinks each Nantan should have a label that states made in china Thanks, Tom Peregrineflier Yea, that's right, The proudest member of the IMCA # 6168 - Original Message - From: mark ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 8:43 AM Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] Re: My Top 10 of classic meteorite names Fred, lol Your post it made me Wonder whether we should run a light hearted 'competition for the best sounding fictitious meteorite name!?'
