LOL

The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s.

Wonder if there are any real ones at all

Hmmm...wonder if that's why the driving test examiners hate Americans so much? They're bitter about their moon rock.

 

[biomech]

Oops... busted. Turns out to be petrified wood, no wonder other countries hate us. We give bad gifts. :tongue:

 

[CunningStunts]

There's only two things I can't stand... people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

 

[tiger1977]

Do you think they tested it to make sure it was real so when they regifted it, they wouldn't look like a piece of shit giving faux gifts?

There's only one thing I can't stand... people who give fake moon rocks as gifts!

 

[Spleen]

Hilarity ensues.

 

[Friday on my mind]

Been almost 40 years so I think the most likely thing that happened is somebody swiped it and replaced it with the wooden one.Probably has it in his or her home right now lol.

New saying "Don't take any wooden moon rocks"?:rofl:

Fake moon rocks from a fake moon landing.

What did you expect? :tongue:

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Dumb asses, it took them thirty years to figure out it is fake? After they insured it for that much money for that long?

This made my day! I love this article! Rep to you Nemreg for providing entertainment today for me!

 

[JakeSnake]

:1orglaugh.

 

[D-rock]

Don't worry. Someday moon rocks will be almost worthless.

 

[Neutron66]

Maybe it's not fake.

Maybe we've now just learned that there's petrified wood on the moon.

That would be a pretty amazing discovery.

The Dutch should be happy we gave them anything at all. And they'd better keep silent from now on about any other complaints they have. Any more whining or bitching and I'll put together a small contingent of invaders (probably 4 people, that should be enough) and seize the capital. There are two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Man, that's cold... giving somebody a fake rock.

 

[Gordar]

At least they gave us the real Petra! (you are real, aren't you?)

FreeOnes is Dutch. :tongue:

Petra is not from the Netherlands! She was born in the state of Washington. Read this. So it's official, the Dutch have given us nothing. :hatsoff:
