[meteorite-list] What's in a name?

[Zelimir Gabelica]

Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg!

...a name that would then probably be soon abbreviated as "15 g"?   ..

I remember that the village with the longuest mane (world record) is 
somewhere in Whales. Obviously can't remember it (who can help ?)

I just remember another remote place, a small village in South Iceland, 
where, years ago, we had to stop to repare a flat tire.

It is "Kirkjubaejärlklaustur".

I fogot the meaning (it is a question of a farm yard behind some church ..) 
but perhaps our scandinavien friends can help?
At least, there were nice black magnetic pebbles on the nearby beach. But 
at that time, I had a vague idea of what a meteorite can represent. And our 
magnets were just used to collect odd basaltic rocks...I bet we missed the 
first authentified Icelandic meteorite!

Cheers,

Zelimir
