[ale] RHEL-6.1 system with 4 CPU sockets and 1TB of memory

Mon Feb 6 09:17:13 EST 2012

How can they be sure it is the ONLY one to ever hit a car?   There’s been many a time I’ve driven down the freeway and got hit by something.   Since I never stop to examine such things when they occur for all I know they were all meteors rather than road detritus being spewed by the vehicles around me or my own tires.   Maybe it was a meteor that took out my gas tank on a trip to Nashville several years ago.   :-)

It's on her bucket list. She knows the owner of the mailbox that took the meteorite in Claxton in 84.

For meteorites, she should visit the Natural History Museum in London.

They have a collection of 5,000 meteorites among their 300,000 minerals,
including the only meteorite to hit a car -- in my home town to screw up
my faith in probability.  It's a site to behold:
