Jfred,

I believe the people evaluating the weight of the magic bullet compared it with bullets found with the rifle. The magic bullet, when all the fragments are added, becomes an impossible bullet. I will have to dig back in the books to find the exact weights and measurements and from wence the fragments were gathered.

I figured "Mooner" had some relationship to a the full moon. There's a lot to be said for strange behavior during full moons. That's where the word lunatic comes from, but you probably already knew that.

I read your post to Alex re the 1969 moon shot. That was a memorable event for most of us, I think. At the time, my grandfather (born in 1889) was in the hospital. Grandfather and I watched the first man to walk on the moon, and he commented to me that he had lived through a period in history that had seen the greatest advances the world had ever seen or would ever see again. Grandfather would love the Internet--another techological achievement from 1969.
