I wouldn’t mind having a dinosaur skeleton, but I don’t know where I’d keep it. I doubt my wife would let me display it in the living room.

Maybe Elon can buy it just to stand on it and claim to be the first man on Mars.

There is absolutely no way to determine where it came from.

it would be the pride of the trailer park if I were to purchase it. I would house it out by the outhouse so people could go by and admire it before finishing their business.

I want to impress my friends with what I own. So…
Buy a 54-pound rock from Mars for $4 million.
or,
Find a 54-pound rock, and say it came from Mars.
I’d normally go with the first option. But none of my friends are geologists or astrophysicists. So the second option it is.

A neighbor of ours has a large polar bear on display thru a window facing the lake. I think it’s in a large game room (double meaning there) with a pool table beyond the bear.

What if it is just rubble from a construction site in New Jersey?
