These articles are always fun though, aren't they? This is a fabulous 
sentence, almost worthy of "Monty Python":

Crikey! The stone looked just like a stone! I shall alert the media.


But seriously, what does this final sentence mean?

try it  : )

And speaking of "Monty Python" whatever happened to our friend J. 
Gregory Wilson AKA Sharkkb8?
