So I 'stole' a 2 billion year old rock...

From a museum exibit. There were ones that were 3 billion plus, but they were too big to fit in my clothes. I didn't pay much attention to what it's called or where it's from, because I was like 'holy shit; this rock is OVER 9000 years old'.
This rock was around long before there was life itself (well at least anything more than sigle-celled organisms), and will probably be around long after all life has died out. It was around long before the continents split up. It's been around for a while, and seen a lot.
Whenever I feel bogged down by the petty shit in life, I'll touch this rock and remind myself how insignificant we all are in the grand scheme of the universe, and say FUCK YOU to the world. :thumbsup:

Maybe the museum is just bullshiting people. Still, stealing from museums is a pretty lousy thing to do...

think you can sell it for anything?
Selling a rock here! Get your 2 billion year old rock! *crickets chirp*
I imagine most people here aren't even 30 years old. Not all rocks are that old. Some were formed later.
Stealing from a museum is a shit thing to do. Wtf are you going to do with a rock? That's a dumb thing to steal.
This. I once went to a rock/mining museum and they gave me a rock for free.
u r a dum @$$ if u think ur a billion year old
so 2 enjoy somthing it has 2 look realy cool 2 show off???? idiot.
I hate to say it, but I gotta agree with brandon this once
Well, if he actually enjoys the rock, sure, cool beans, but this thread sort of gives the idea that he stole it to seem super cool... and it's not that cool an item, or that cool a thing to do anyway. So kind of failed there.
But I bet it wasn't a 2 BILLION year old rock now was it?
PEOPLE! I'm not making it up. Why would I lie about such an arbitrary thing?
I believe you. I'm also going to go into my backyard and sift through all the 2 billion year old rocks I have lying around.
If you read properly, you'll see I gave my reason in the OP.
If you found a rock that old, naturally, in your back yard, you could be pretty sure there'd be a sudden serious geological interest in your property.
Nothing says 'thug' like having a 2 billion year old rock. :rolleyes:
I actually lolled
also, I think having a 2 billion year old rock would have the complete opposite effect on me. Whenever I'm feeling down I would touch it and remind myself how insignificant I am and then an hero immediately.
Point is, if the rock is actually rare and valuable, you'd think they'd keep it locked behind a cage or something so people can't steal it.
Also, the Earth's crust is estimated around 2 billion years old. It's quite likely I'll find a rock that is that old.
its not cool 2 steel from a museum but no were did he say he wanted 2 show it off all he did was tock about how cool he thinks it is cus its so old. he also said in case u cant reed cus ur dum that he holds it 2 rimimber how insignifigent he c-s so he can tell the world 2 f#$% off
Unless you're a geologist how would you know if you found a 2 billion old rock in your backyard? Since you wouldn't know how would anyone else know to show interest?
The lower levels of the crust are way, way down. HIGHLY unlikely. Nowhere did I say it was valuable, or that I wanted it to 'show off'. The exibit had some pretty massive ones, and a couple smaller ones. The 3 billion year old ones were all solid and I couldn't (easily) break a bit off.
How old are you? How many things in your house are 2 billion years old? Exactly.
Ok, I got a bit excited with the rocks in my backyard. I'm just thinking that if the museum leaves rocks lying around for people to snatch up, it either doesn't mean anything to them, or they're not actually that old. Most people who visit museums won't be able to tell the difference. But hey, belief is all that matters.
Well since they aren't valuable as such, they know most (sane) people aren't going to bother taking them.
In the popular, significant cave systems in the world >>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cango_Caves<< for example, tourists are constantly trying to break the stalagtites off as souveniers. Why these then? Because they look cool. Simple as.
I can't even think of anything more lame to mock you, what's worse? Steal a... I'm stuck, anything else has some kind of value, human hair, sand, paper clip, but a fucking rock?
Oh yeah, well the atoms in your body have been around since the formation of the universe.
*2 BILLION year old rock
Correction.
Uh huh, and I have unicorns in my cock.
That must be very uncomfortable :eek:
If you can sell it for any amount of money, you may be on to something here.
Second of all... Hahhaha I can just imagine like, you and your friends planning this rock heist out, ocean's 11 style.
It is. The doctor said it's "bonerhalatosis" or I basically stick my dick into all sorts of random shit. I got a rx but fuck doctors, my dick has unicorns. Period.
anyway, one of my professors stole a clay fragment from the Pompeii ruins
Halitosis is bad breath. Your dick has bad breath.
The vast majority of atoms :mad:
Everybody knows the Hadean eon is where it's at.
You wanna hear something really out there? I am that rock.
I believe this to be QFT!
