Re: utterly random picture thread.
Went to a local park today which has some stepping stones across a little lake. I had to wait my turn today behind this chap.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
And who takes them away once they've landed, I've never seen one, where do they keep them?

"The original meteorite, called Cape York, was initially around 200 tons—at least six times the size of Ahnighito—before it broke apart in the atmosphere. Two other fragments of Cape York can also be seen in this hall. At 34 tons, Ahnighito is the largest meteorite on display in any museum."

Look on the other side of the world, there might be an exit wound.
Even bland can be a type of character

That's incredible!
Not the lump of iron, but that they felt they had to give it a name.
"That's a nice rock!"
"Isn't it! I call it Trump"
Wtf do you call it Trump?"
"Because it's a bit of peridotite!"

Re: utterly random picture thread.
That section of that Museum is incredible IMO....the whole museum (The American Museum of Natural History) is pretty bloody good actually.
I would guess someone named this bit giant mysterious rock in the middle of Greenland before they knew what it was!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I might have posted this before but I've had wine and can't remember.
I'm the blonde one holding the lion cub, to be fair it looks pretty fucking unimpressed by the whole deal.
The dark haired lad lived next door which was mebbe 200 yards away.
We sold a horse (named Cherry and a 1/4 hackney so picked it's hooves up nicely) to a circus and because of that I ended up holding a lion cub. To be fair I can't remember much about it apart from the fact it happened and I have a photo.
Jeez, I remember more about the horse, weird eh? She could jump a five bar gate from almost a standing start. We never knew til the day we sold her and we said she wasn't a jumper.
Left her in one side of the long building by the byre and next day she was over the bloody gate.
By then the sale was agreed and we'd said all the sales talk. It was honest when we said it.
