 > Hi, Jack;
 
[Sniparoonie]
 
 II> Don't think so.  For a meteor to strike one planet, (Earth or
 II> Mars...
 II> or even a planet of another solar system... or even before this
 II> solar
 II> system was more than a disk of dust), with enough force to send a
 II> rock
 II> into space, where it found it's way to another planet, I consider
 II> possible.  But for ANOTHER meteor to hit close enough to the
 II> landing spot
 II> to knock the SAME rock back to it's planet of origin... that would
 II> have
 II> to be the cosmic pool shot of all time!  (And that means TRILLIONS
 II> of
 II> years!!!)  No, in the words of Spock, it is not logical.  The odds
 II> against it are so high that not even a Cray - or Deep Thought, (of
 II> Hitchiker's Guide), could compute it in 42 and 1/2 billion years!
 
 JS> Who are you to deny me my fantasies? 
 
I am _ME!_  A person who doesn't calculate exact odds, but can see when
a number is something close to infinity.  OF course, now that you have
labelled them as fantasies, we can accept that it COULD be possible,
but that the odds against it are something close to a cow REALLY jumping
over the Moon.  
 
Catch you later... Keep l00king up!
