Hi List,

Regarding the controversy surrounding the definition of a hammer, I have a thought to share.

Recently, someone Steve Arnold reported his "dam meteorite", and this has led to the inevitable
debate as to whether the stone qualifies as a hammer because the dam is a man-made construct.

I would like to suggest that *every* meteorite that strikes Earth is a hammer. Why?

1) God created humans in his own image.
2) Therefore God is a human.
3) God created Earth.
4) Since God is a human, that means the Earth is a man-made construct.
5) All meteorites are hammers.

My collection of hammers just jumped from 13 to 74!

I would like to further suggest that a meteorite that falls on a dam owned by the church is a......

Nevermind. ;)

Best regards,

MikeG
