Meteor crater-not

Why would you go to the effort of faking a meteor crater?

What a pitiful attempt. Dig up some dirt and pile it neaty around the edge - very convincing.

Hi All,

The Perpetrator will be selling bits of iron and stone next. With his wife in the next stall selling drinks.

Even if it is a poor attempt people will go to see a fraudulent site just to have been there . Even fake souveniers.

Cheers Marty

They wanted to divert attention away from the financial crisis.

LOL - Yeah a meteorite impact in an already jumpy world, just what the Doctor ordered.
