[meteorite-list] Ad - Please Ignore!!!! Way offtopic!!!! Statingthe OBVIOUS!??

[Martin Altmann]

Hey Adam,
I decided: The ultimative weight unit for meteorites is the British "stone"
(6.35kg = almost 14 US-pounds).

Imagine the ads:  This stone has two stones. Total known weight: 30 stones,
120 stones were recoverd.
