[meteorite-list] intriguing Question

[Jerry]

Maybe they're to busy on the Gobi and there abouts, digging up Dinosaur 
fossils!
Maybe you and I should get some financing to get the natives to recognize 
and search for meteorites!!
10-15 years from now they too will be search out!
Don't forget the Kalahari. It's perkin right now!!
