4 Billion Year Old Meteorite Used As Doorstop




When I saw the headline in the photo to the left, earlier today, it cracked me up.  In fact, at first I thought it was a gag headline from the “Onion” or some other kind of humor web site.  But it’s a real news story.  

There’s something oddly amusing to me about a family not realizing that this rock by their front door is a valuable item from outer space and so they are kicking it around and using it as a doorstop.  (Okay, I’m easily amused… I know.) 

By the way, I’m going to go take a closer look at that large rock in our back yard.
