461 machen. In Tabelle 9 ist neben der prozentischen Beteiligung dieser funf Elemente auch angegeben, welchen Anteil die jeweilig haufigste Atomart be sitzt ; man erkennt daraus, dass die funf haufigsten Atomarten schon uber 90% des Gesamtmaterials ausmachen. Besonders erwahnenswert ist, dass die Atom gewichte dieser funf Atomarten ganzzahlige Vielfache von 4, dem Atomgewicht des Heliums, sind und - mit Ausnahme des Fe - das Doppelte der Ordnungs 56 zahlen betragen (vgl. Ziff. 2). Tabelle 9. Prozentgehalt der Meteorite an den funf haufigsten Elementen und Atomarten.

If you've been to Paris, you know that pigeons are everywhere and universally despised. They crowd the streets and are filthy, rude, and slovenly nuisances-much like Americans. It is 2006, and Joe, a young American historian, arrives in France to research the Reign of Terror, but is fixated on the War on Terror. The world trembles in discord, and Joe's foundation is disturbed. Parisian Pigeon brings the reader into a young man's consciousness, where spirituality wrestles with the pleasure principle. Wandering the streets of Paris, fumbling the language, his head divided against itself, he finds sanctuary in a bottle. The need to be with people and away from himself compels him to frequent an Irish pub. There he meets other young people who, stuck in dead-end jobs, distract themselves with drugs and alcohol. Along with Joe, they endure their dreams' autumn, a spiritless fall and last desperate attempt to be extra-ordinary. Witness the Parisian Pigeon's unraveling and the macabre denouement of his struggle to discover in himself what he cannot find in the world.

Our hero in this tale is a floundering, useless, recent college graduate who lives with Mommy and Daddy. He fills his days with bowling, cynicism, goofing with his buddies, and aspiring to be an author. Unemployed and frustrated, he unwittingly becomes the owner and operator of a dog poop scooping business. Transformed into the worst superhero imaginable, the Poo Man confronts many adversaries as he practices his trade, but the main villain whom he must overcome is himself. Through and on-line dating service he meets the woman of his dreams. They inspire each other to transform their lives, which they do in a comic-tragic turn of events. Along the way, the Poo Man and his buddies provide laughs and insights into the world of the marginal man, that creature who inhabits the gap between teenage mindlessness and the responsible seriousness of manhood.
