Re: [meteorite-list] Pluto's Demotion Tapped as 2006 Word of the Year
Kind of like what is about to happen to George Bush's plans for the middle east - Plutoed by the Democrats. [Meteorite Content] Has anyone seen the new comet in the sky yet? It was shown on the tube this morning and it looks like it could get quite spectacular! Maybe it'll drop a meteorite on my house. I'm only 250 miles from NJ! lol Gary http://www.meteorite-dealers.com On 8 Jan 2007 at 23:56, Sterling K.
