[meteorite-list] Fun questions, or public FAQs

[Mark Crawford]

I was reflecting yesterday on the fun I get showing my collection to 
guests, and talking about meteorites to non-hobbyists.  It got me 
thinking that there are some standard questions which come up time and 
again.

* "Where do you get them from?"  [One of the few opportunities to use 
the line 'I buy from dealers by the gram' in polite conversation :) ]

* "How do you know they haven't just gone to the local DIY store and 
bought a bag of gravel?" [or various versions of this]

* "How do you know it really comes from Mars/the Moon/the asteroids?"

...and  I suppose if the conversation comes round to it:

* "HOW much???" :)


I wondered if other list members had any fun regular (or occasional) 
ones to share?

Mark
