Well, that's one small storage area for some rocks, one giant bleep for mankind.

We have top men working on it now. Top. Men.

fta Each state received a moon rock display from President Richard Nixon

FTA: [Pat Gaarder said] "It is also exciting to think that our collection includes artifacts from across the globe and now with these moon rocks, the galaxy."

Umm... no. The moon is not across the galaxy, you freakin' retard.

Wow, a find like that would almost make an episode of "Storage Wars" worth watching on mute.

Very inventive headline, Captain Plagiarist.

The question is *why* someone would go through the trouble of putting those artifacts in a warehouse where no one would ever find it?

Maybe not someone but rather something.

Did they eat them?

Moonrocks are considered national treasures and illegal to sell or own.

Whoo, hoo, my hometown is on Fark!

Is it the rock with the letter C?

Can they talk to pigs? Too obscure?

YUUUUUUP!

Sadly, situations like this happen far to often. Something gets stored away and everyone forgets about it. Even major institutions like the Smithsonian have that problem.

Good. I need a replacement needle for my googolphonic stereo.

Hello? Is there anybody in there?

With the amount of Copy/paste headlines lately, fark may as well get rid of a bunch of admins, crawl the sites and and post random stories.

Probably he was an egomaniacal asshole who thought the Internet revolved around him, and the fawning admiration of Apple fanbois feeding that probably didn't help.

Sad things like this happen. Someone probably didn't know how/where to display them and had them put into storage until someone else could make that decision. A decision that was never made.

I see what you did there but I can't remember who it was.

And when you play it backwards, you see the Twins winning the '91 World Series!

Someone was thinking about portals... Does Cave Johnson live over there?

So they DID recover the rocks from the Apollo 18 landing

Waiting to bid ...

Wanted for questioning:

Those "better means" will be handled by the Minnesota Historical Society, which will take possession of the rocks in a transfer ceremony Wednesday at a gathering of children at Science and Technology Academies Reinforcing Basic Aviation and Space Exploration (STARBASE) Minnesota.

Yow, they really worked for that one.

haemaker: We have top men working on it now. Top. Men.

Done in 2!

/Stole my thunder
//Curse you!

Glad to see they got their rocks off the floor of the storage room.

Also wanted for questioning:

 

Too obscure?

Moon rocks are like crazy valuable, but good luck finding a fence for them
