Yep, keep your eyes peeled for such treasures

a that understands speak!?

so far i've only found something that resembles the top of the keops pyramid

A ben-ben stone?

This is the sort of stuff you hould be looking out for: http://www.spacerocksuk.com/stones2.html

I know that's a naughty commercial site, but I'm not promoting the stuff for sale, just letting peeps see the pictures

ben-ben stone is that from the stone age...

nah, not quite as sophisticated, i'm afraid

we were trying to dig a trench from my house through the backyard to my shed, because we wanted electrickery there, but when we hit this top of a pyramid we had to give up. not that we didn't try, but it was so tough it seemed we would have to need a steam hammer to break through

oh well, in the end it did not matter much. neither me nor my friend would be able to use it now anyway

<> you remind me of Catweazle

thank you, but again: i'm not that old...

ooh it made the BBC news website!

apparently the bolide came close to land in my backyard! according to sources in poland it did not land in southern sweden but actually in the baltic sea south of "my" twin islands Lolland-Falster

that would explain the whooshing sound following the impact: the burning bolide may have landed in water

That was a pretty spectacular scene.
I've been digging down to make a hole for an earth rod and
I think I've come across a corner of the pyramid.

ooooh, keep digging

If you need a hand, I'll send round

do not think any one want loose their hands...

indeed. i one have one left. and that is the right



about the bolide: it is now stated that the bolide came flying in over the north of poland, continued over the northeastern german island rügen and exploded in the air above my danish twin islands lolland-falster

so it actually came very very close to landing in my backyard!

pity it did not destroy my derelict shed so the insurance company could fix it for me

Yep, a real shame. You'd have made a huge profit selling bits to souvenir hunters too

the story of my life

Hmm, I smell an opportunity for some booty here.
Let me know where the shed is located and I'll arrange for it
to be struck with some rocks that will "accidentally"
ignite the shed.

i'm in the telephone book
