Wish I'd kept my first Pet Rock.

And mood ring.

Ah well.

Hey, I just thought of a way around the current Outer Space Treaty laws on owning celestial bodies. Wrap up an asteroid, claim it as the world's largest Pet Rock!

Naaah, they'd never go for it.

Never understood the pet-rock thing.

Got my acre on the moon, though! Regolith of every imaginable shape & size...

Would it be inhumane to adopt a large number of pet rocks because you want a build a walkway in your yard/garden/etc.?

Did I grow up underpriveledged as I never had a pet rock? I even appear to live in a depressed area where there doesn't seem to be any rock around the county other than caliche - a chalky decayed limestone sorta stuff used for road beds.
