I have tried on both FB and here and I cannot get this story:shrug::mad2:
Probably firefox is blocking it ?

:lol: yes indeed, what are the chances! :screwy:

Wrapped in kitchen wrap to take for show and tell?? :rolleyes: If I had that rock it would strictly be a "hands off my rock" policy.
Oh, just imagine stroking a rock that no human hand has touched, fresh from space.

If one that size (size of an egg/88g)) just happened to hit me over the head, I think that could actually wipe me out permanently judging by the damage it did to that roof. :question:

Oh Suzy!

Very probably most of rocks on Earth have not been touched by human hands ;)

And some of them did come from space.
