[meteorite-list] Pot Coloring The Kettle Black

[Raremeteorites]

A perfect example of how short-term memories can be,

Sue the Dinosaur's formal designation is "FMNH PR 2081" not "FMMH PR 2081" 
as I was just reminded.  I am also a perfectionist when it comes to details 
so please forgive me for this error.

Time to go to brunch,

Happy Fathers Day,

Adam
