What Can I Do With My Meteorite?
DanCracker asks: "I've just inherited a 34 lb metorite from my grandfather. As a child, I was alwasy fascinated by it, but never developed my intrest. As much as this means to me, I've got little need nor room for such a thing. What is the next course of action I should take? Contact labs or universities? Post it on eBay? Help!"
but only if it has kryptonite in it!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
and all you can think about is posting to slashdot?
I bet it's got a little blob inside. Careful or it'll devour your entire town.
Screw that... Cash out and keep one of the $100 bills as a reminder. Every $100 is also unique.
Your a nerd aren't you? Make it into Polyhedral Dice.
Have you seen the movie Joe Dirt? The guy finds a meteorite and puts it in a wagon and carries it around. He puts ketchup on it and eats french fries off of it, he loves it. He needs money one day so he tries to sell it, but upon inspection he learns it is a frozen piece of shit that fell from an airplane. :)
I hope this guy had his meteorite inspected before he ends up like Joe Dirt.

Sounds like it could make for one hell of a casemod!
Take it outside on a clear day. Hold it in your right hand. Take a deep breath. Look upwards. Take a few steps and fling it into the sky as hard as you can. Should a martian grandpa give it to its martian sub-product, I think it will prefer to keep it even if its living in a $270 per month apartment.
2) Screw in a tiny ring to it and give it to your girlfriend.
