[meteorite-list] "Meteorite" for $7.1 billion per gram!

[Marc Fries]

Howdy

   Wow, that was high and mighty, and mighty hard to ignore.  Let me just
float a fact in there - the EU sold over $135.9 billion (USD) in
weaponry around the world in 2004, mostly to poor and developing
nations ("Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing Nations,
1997-2004", Report for US Congress, Library of Congress 2005).

That's all; no commentary included.  Go back to what you were doing.  If
anyone wants to reply please do so off-list.

Cheers,
MDF
