Yeah, we've had loads of these fake meteorite offers too, they are all scams. This new variant is just the usual "I am the late wife of an oil baron, and I want to transfer some money..." scam, but reworded. As mike said Deal with those you know well (i.e with the 'inner circle' (that's IMCA mem

Re: [meteorite-list] Amazing coincedence, Off topic DEFORESTATION for Furniture.

Yep, and solar panels, energy efficient light bulbs, and most wind turbines all take more 'co2'/energy to produce, dispose of, and transport around the world than they will ever 'save' or generate in their entire short working product life! (Paticularly solar panels, they are the worst way of gene

So that they'll see, that's simply cheaper for them to use better products. And I see no hope, that energy prices won't get more and more expensive. It's very simple, isn't it and certainly no question of an ideology. Skol Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL P

Hi Sterling, As you say the questioners in those surveys are as dumb as some of the respondents! - what sort of a question is 'The universe began with a huge explosion? True or false? Obviously its actually false not true (as stated) as the universe most likley started as an infinitely tiny event

Hi Rob, As Sterling said, - mega practice. - over 2 million years of modifying innocuous stones and sticks into perfect killing machines. (Sort of gets in your blood after a while!) We tend to forget that humans are evolutionary perfected to make flint tools, kill and hunt animals and eat mostl

Re: [meteorite-list] Centimeter cubes on the cheap

Now that's Genius ! I hadn't even considered using them as 10cm cubes. I would suggest pouring some black epoxy potting compound into the base, and the ones I have seen have the sizes 'printed on', so some solvent would get rid of the text easily enough, and voila all the 10cm cubes you can eat,
