A 74 year old woman who has no money and a sick son was trying to sell a piece of moon rock she alleges was given to her late husband by Neil Armstrong. Instead of getting a buyer though, the woman was swarmed by federal and county officials at a Riverside County Denny's. Riverside County is a a county about an hour east of Los Angeles. And hot. If you are overweight like me, you do not go out there between June and September. Of course it would take you about that long just to drive there because of all the traffic. I am convinced that people who live there never actually get out of their cars. They leave home at 4am, drive to LA, work all day drive home and around 2am they get back home where they eat and sleep in their car until it is time to do it all over again.
Anyway, this all happened about six months ago but is just now being revealed because the woman is considering suing NASA. Selling moon rock is illegal. Lots has been given out but you can't sell it. The government says it belongs to them. Umm, last I checked, the moon did not belong to the US Government. So, when the woman called NASA and then tried to sell it, federal officials decided to scare her. They rushed into a Denny's when she was showing the rock, grabbed her so hard they left bruises and scared her so much it caused her to lose control of her bladder.
NASA has not pressed any charges against the woman but did take the rock which was rightfully hers.
