Fake Moon Rock

Now here's something interesting. It has just come out of Amsterdam that a moon rock given to that country in a gesture of friendship by the U.S. Ambassador not long after the Apollo Moon landing is FAKE.

Apparently they decided to perform tests on it, and discovered that it is nothing more than a small rock of petrified wood.

And "US officials said they had no explanation for the Dutch discovery" - makes you wonder.
