Scientists in Quebec have found what they’re touting as the world’s oldest Rock which comes in at a nubile 4.something billion years old. You can read the article here: World's Oldest Rock
I have some questions regarding this:
1) Why are we paying scientists to look for old rocks?
2) How do you know it’s THE oldest Rock… did you check the rock next to it?
3) Isn’t Keith Richards the world’s oldest Rock…er?
The ego of science amazes me sometimes. They’ve found an old rock. So what? Supposedly it’s suppose to realign our understanding of when life appeared on this planet, the life they’re referring to being bacteria. I’m sorry; while bacteria is alive I’d hardly consider it life. It just sits around in the body and poisons (kind of like the McD’s breakfast I just had) or its out in the world doing its thing – but if its not in anyone’s favourite 5 cell phone numbers, it doesn’t have “life.”
Life has more moving parts. To me it sounds like some rock nerds trying to justify their research grant.
So if its not Keith Richards... is it Bob Seger?

Don't be disrepectin' the Segermeister. Takedown. Shakedown. You're busted.
I still say Keith Richards died in 1987 and has been replaced with a Muppet.
Hey I ain't dissin' the dulcet tones, but you can't say the dude's a spring chicken.
I think Richards and Dick Clark have undergone the same necromantic treatment.
