It would be as useful as... * Pimps would be selling meteorwrongs far easier than they can sell something else as something else. * Size would not matter, and my micro collection would be a whole lot more popular! * There would be a whole new meaning to : "do you like me, or is that a rock in your pocket?" * My libido would get really confused everytime I worked in the garden and moved rocks around - It's a brick, it's a babe, it's a meteorite! * Grams would replace inches.=20 * Rock hammers and magnets on sticks would replace the latex and rubber wares in that discreet little shop around the corner. * A harem would take up a lot less space. Maybe just a 1 by 1 cabinet, not the whole house!=20 =20 I think that Steve has done a great thing with this competition, and deserves a round of applause. It has kept half my office amused for days! <End of sucking up to judges/> =20 This is not intended to offend anyone, and I defy anyone to admit that they did not smile once during this competition. And one smile is all it takes to attract a meteorite!
