These are a unique breed of Cyclopean rocks, hard to come by.
Check if they have drill collars with a contract number.
I’m a south Hampton institute of technology graduate of rockology. These are indeed pet rocks
Those are actually wild rocks that have evolved a protective feature that looks like an eye to avoid predation. They're still rather friendly, just not domesticated yet!
Did they use the pet rock breeding kit? (A rock and a hammer).
No, assuming the rock id is correct (pet rocks), then these were discovered in situ -- hanging out outside a hotel.
wild, please make sure to stack them in a funny way to preserve the joke
wait nvm it looks good already
It's undergoing mitosis
Is that normal for rocks?
Only on Tuesdays.
