Re: [meteorite-list] Russian Pig-Killing Fall? (dated)
A stone meteorite fell into one of the villages of the Tara district. The fall was accompanied by detonations, while the sky was clear. It killed a pig. It was carried off by a vagabond sorcerer, some of whom were still existing at that time. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. That really conjures up some great images. I can see him camped off in the woods enjoying suckling pig roasted over an open fire while contemplating his other new acquisition.

Hi Bill, When I first read this, I thought the sorcerer carried off the meteorite, not the pig. Now that you mentioned it, I think you're right.

Hello Daniel, Definitely -- I find that the Harvard adsabs site is a great source of older papers. I'm glad you made a lower offer on it; every single one of those books is available for free viewing and download on Google Books. A few dollars for the convenience of having them on a CD is fine, but I'd make sure to let list-members know that they can download the files for free by searching for the titles on Google Books.

Carl, I just figured he did what any vagabond sorcerer worth his salt would have done. He took them both.
