[meteorite-list] Silly-sounding Meteorite Names

[Michael Mulgrew]

Mike, here's a few that always make me chuckle:

Beaver
Boxhole
Chadong
Faucett (this one's always running)
Gan Gan (Git Git's distant cousin)
Potter (Harry?)
Tatahouine (isn't Luke Skywalker from there?)
Vaca Mueta (dead cow for crying out loud!)

Best,
Michael in so. Cal.
