That's nothing. Saudi Arabia has a rock that fell from Hell.

They can tell us where a rock came from a billion years ago, but they can’t tell us where the billions from MF Global went last year............

Gimme my rock back!

If Mars rocks fell in Africa in July, does that mean it is time to short Mars rocks? Or does it mean I should have shorted in July? For that matter, what's today's quote on Mars rocks on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange?

Chunk ‘O’ Mars Ping!

Sure sure...just meteorite chunks.

How do they know for certain that the rocks came from Mars?

I was going to ask how the heck martian rocks can jump up and leave the gravitational pull and head to earth until I read the article and this:

Astronomers think millions of years ago something big smashed into Mars and sent rocks hurtling through the solar system. After a long journey through space, one of those rocks plunged through Earth's atmosphere, splitting into smaller pieces.

And now said rocks just happened to hit earth after their millions of years journey thru space to return and hit earth. And some smart folks decided to pick them up in Africa and offer them for sale...........

The only thing missing from this story is the claim that if worn in the trousers of a male, it will give him an erection lasting up to 8 hours and if such erection fails to go away, contact your local astronomer immediately.

Okay............

It would be just awesome to find a couple of those. Sell one of them, and keep the other. I bet you could practically write your own check, assuming that some government wouldn’t be looking to confiscate it from you.

Knowing my luck, I would end up like the old farmer guy that was played by Stephen King in the movie “Creepshow”.

Scientists are confirming a recent and rare invasion from Mars: meteorite chunks from the red planet that fell in Morocco last July.

. . . . Pinging because we are news junkies and need to know these things.

Thanks SunkenCiv.
