Hey, I strive for complete anality in spelling so that I can feed my innate sense of overwhelming superiority...I accept Shaka's rebuke!
Re magnet-dust meteors: I've heard that much of that stuff actually IS meteoritic material, which makes sense since literally tons of crap hits the atmosphere every day world-wide. Dunno if that's an urban legend or not; will try to dig up a reputable reference. EDIT: Wow, that didn't take long. Here's a teacher's lesson plan from PBS' Nova on how to collect & identify micrometeors! Near the end there's also mention of an ongoing project by one of the US government research agencies (forget which one...USGS?) to characterize the stuff. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
