Below are the pics of the space rock sent to me by Final Frontier mag
a few years back. IIRC, they said it was from Mars. Its a piece of
silver metal. If they had said outer space 'rock', I would've thought

There you have it, draw your own conclusions.

Editor: Now I don't know which pic is which but here's what I believe is two of the pictures that Derek posted.

Picture of alleged Mars metal with magazine that so generously sent it to Derek for his subscription.

Picture of a pissed off Derek holding the alleged piece Mars metal.

Here's my favorite part, some comic genius produced these.

Hilarious picture

Another hilarious picture

A third great picture
