Angrite
Angrites are a rare group of achondrites consisting mostly of the mineral augite with some olivine, anorthite and troilite. The group is named for the Angra dos Reis meteorite.
Angrites are basaltic rocks, often having porosity, with vesicle diameters of up to 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in).
They are the oldest igneous rocks, with crystallization ages of around 4.55 billion years.
Origin
By comparing the reflectance spectra of the angrites to that of several main belt asteroids, two potential parent bodies have been identified: 289 Nenetta and 3819 Robinson. Other scientists have suggested that angrites could represent ejecta from Mercury.
Notable meteorites
There are currently 12 meteorites classified as angrites. The type specimen, the Angra dos Reis meteorite, was an observed fall in 1869 and at 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb) is the fourth heaviest angrite. The three largest are D'Orbigny (16.55 kilograms (36.5 lb)), "Sahara 99555" (2.71 kilograms (6.0 lb)) and "NWA 4931" with 2.14 kilograms (4.7 lb).

Throw It All Away
by: JunkyardWoke up this morning with a cold one in my hand
I could go and get myself another but I've had all I can stand
Cause I don't like nothing about my life today
Think I'm gonna take these bottles and I'll throw ‘em all away
And it boils my blood and it makes me mad as hell
Cause there's no one to blame but myself...
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
Living out my dreams, yeah – I haven't got a dime
I used to think I had so much to say; now I can never find a line
And I know I'll regret it until my dying day
If I take my only chance and I throw it all away
And it boils my blood and it makes me mad as hell
Cause there's no one to blame but myself...
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I gotta throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
Get down...
It don't work
It ain't ever gonna pay
It don't work – so throw it away!
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
I'm gonna throw it away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
I'm gonna throw it away
Just throw it away
