[meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Everyone Should Own A Meteorite.

[Eric Wichman]

Wow!

I never thought the 10 Reasons List would cause such a fuss... ;) I 
think it's funny that some people think it's all about gender, when 
in fact it's about the fantastic nature of the meteorites themselves. 
The comment "Chicks dig meteorites." is a simple play on words from 
the slogan "Chicks dig scars.". I thought that would be a cool thing 
to add in the list to get a laugh out of everyone that read it. In 
fact I thought of all the things that someone would debate over would 
be the opinions and theories I presented in numbers 8 & 9...

Some peoples reactions however are way more interesting to say the 
least and probably some comments should be reigned in a bit so as not 
to offend any of the many women who do truly "Dig meteorites!" :) My 
girlfriend loves them, my girl cousins love them, my mother and 
sister love them, and if you're sitting in a bar and place one on the 
counter it won't take long for someone to ask what it is... Women are 
very much interested in meteorites!

If you're simply talking statistics, I'm sure women can agree that 
from a purely statistical and scientific point of view the male of 
our species (not to use the word MAN :) ) out numbers the females in 
this particular interest group. Even saying this could be arguable 
and could promote even more debate which could be good if people are 
lighthearted about it... ;)

To all who have responded thus far THANKS!

To all who are about to respond to my comments Be Gentle Please... ;)
