Good example for countenance and politeness, Doug. Once an old Icelander,
while fighting in a battle, was penetrated by an enemy's lance. The man fell
down to the ground, dying, and wondering: "this type of broad lances really
seems to become into fashion today." Could easily be transformed in a
meteorite-related story :-)

Wish all of you a nice Sunday,
Matthias
