I'll see if the links I used are still on the net Beag.

Haven't found it yet Beag,but am now finding plenty of statements that Iridium is found in comets but not asteroids. Why?
Surely if in one why not the other?
But this link I post without comment.

I can't even think of an appropriate emoticon for this one.

Thanks for trying Digit. And Min, I thought your post clarified the issue, and I'm still satisfied that irridium is in both objects.

New scientific findings suggest that a large comet may have exploded over North America 12,900 years ago, explaining riddles that scientists have wrestled with for decades, including an abrupt cooling of much of the planet and the extinction of large mammals.

The discovery was made by scientists from the University of California at Santa Barbara and their colleagues. James Kennett, a paleoceanographer at the university, said that the discovery may explain some of the highly debated geologic controversies of recent decades.

The period in question is called the Younger Dryas, an interval of abrupt cooling that lasted for about 1,000 years and occurred at the beginning of an inter-glacial warm period. Evidence for the temperature change is recorded in marine sediments and ice cores

A new article out about the Clovis Comet. It says the same things that we've been hearing. West is not mentioned in this article. I noticed that in another, earlier, article. Seems like there are some folks who want their fair share of credit for the theory, and maybe more.

Art Buchwald's version.

Oh! and that's true enough as well Min. In industry a recognised route into management was be a union activist and a general pain in the butt.
The Labour Party hymn is called 'The Red Flag' and it was parodied as The working class can kiss my arse, I've got the foreman's job at last!
that's how common it was.

I miss Art Buchwald. One of a kind.
