Repeat the command, COME BRUTUS.

They are then examined for congenital defects prior to intelligence evaluations.

#pets #PetRock

Now, with firm authority, say, COME BRUTUS.

Few pets are more anxious to please their masters than are PET ROCKS.

#pets #PetRock

Your PET ROCK should be made to know who is the boss, and that you will demand certain good manners and impeccable behavior if the two of you are to have a happy, well adjusted relationship.

#pets #PetRock

It would be cruel to leave your rock in the sitting position forever.

#pets #PetRock

Praise your rock and give it a pat of approval.

#pets #PetRock

Any attempt to use a strange chip will cause a rejection of the new part and then where would you be?

#pets #PetRock

Suffice to say that, should your PET ROCK contract Rock Bottom, get a new PET ROCK immediately.

#pets #PetRock

Most PET ROCK owners have had the patience and good judgment to teach the command, HEEL.

#pets #PetRock

To do this, first find a narrow stream, pond, or swimming pool.

#pets #PetRock

Your PET ROCK has learned the command.

#pets #PetRock

A rock that doesn’t come when it’s called will cause its owner endless embarrassment.

#pets #PetRock

After sitting for a long period of time your rock will appreciate the chance to relax.

#pets #PetRock

To teach your PET ROCK to HEEL, simply follow these easy steps.

#pets #PetRock

Your pet’s own chip must be found and glued back in place.

#pets #PetRock

Your PET ROCK will learn this trick the very first time you give it a lesson.

#pets #PetRock

Place your rock in its training area and give the command, SIT.

#pets #PetRock

First, place your PET ROCK on the floor or ground directly behind your right heel.

#pets #PetRock

First, wipe the sand from your eyes.

#pets #PetRock

Any attempt to use a strange chip will cause a rejection of the new part and then where would you be?

#pets #PetRock

First, select a special training area.

#pets #PetRock

If you’ve made a big fuss about your rock sitting properly it may be reluctant to move.

#pets #PetRock

That statement may be hard to believe but it is, nevertheless, quite true.

#pets #PetRock

These poor, unfortunate rocks meet brutal ends in roadbeds, cement mixers, or as land fill.

#pets #PetRock

Now, let go of your rock.

#pets #PetRock

To be sure, training a rock to come when it’s called requires extraordinary patience.

#pets #PetRock

Should you notice a chip off your old rock the first thing you must do is find the missing chip.

From Tulips to NFTs: The Long, Expensive History of Human Hype

Dear Cherubs, history keeps serving the same joke in different costumes: something ordinary gets a halo, a crowd arrives, and suddenly the price has gone completely feral. Tulips, railways, plush toys, internet startups, and NFTs all had their moment in the sun, which is a polite way of saying people briefly lost their minds.

THE ORIGINAL HYPE CYCLE

Tulip Mania in the Dutch Republic peaked around 1637, when rare bulbs became status symbols and speculation outran common sense. Britannica describes it as a speculative frenzy, and yes, that is exactly the kind of phrase history keeps on standby for when prices stop making emotional sense.

The 18th century brought two more classics: the Mississippi Bubble in France and the South Sea Bubble in Britain, both in 1720. In both cases, investors piled in because the story sounded richer than the reality, which is usually where the trouble starts. Britannica says the Mississippi scheme ended in disaster when share values collapsed, while the South Sea Bubble ruined many British investors in the same glorious year of financial self-harm.

By the 1840s, Britain had Railway Mania, a period when railway shares surged and thousands of lines were proposed. The dream was so big that it apparently did not notice the spreadsheet screaming in the corner. According to RailwayMania.co.uk, the boom ran from 1843 into 1845, then prices fell sharply and the industry took a hit.

MODERN REMIX

Fast-forward to the late 20th century and you get Pet Rocks and Beanie Babies, the retail equivalent of “wait, people paid how much for that?” The Washington Post reported that Pet Rocks sold 1.5 million units at $3.95 each, while History.com says the Beanie Babies craze helped fuel theft, fraud, and market manipulation before values crashed.

Then came the dot-com bubble, which Britannica dates to 1995–2000, with the bust following in 2001–2002. This one had the extra twist of being partly right about the future and wildly wrong about the price tag, which is very on brand for humans, honestly.

And then, of course, NFTs. Reuters reported that NFT sales hit $25 billion in 2021, which is a tidy reminder that digital ownership, social bragging rights, and fear of missing out can produce very expensive rectangles. As noted by thisclaimer.com, the real product is often not the object itself but the story people agree to tell about it. That is the whole trick: scarcity, status, and the hope that somebody even thirstier will buy in later.

So yes, the names change, the packaging changes, and the century changes. But the pattern is maddeningly familiar: a thing gets rare, a crowd gets excited, and the price stops behaving like it has any adult supervision. That is the bubble, plain and simple. Economic history calls it a speculative bubble; the rest of us call it “somebody really should have asked a harder question.”

Their ancestors can be found amongst the rubble of the pyramids; the cobblestone streets of ancient European cities; the Great Wall of China.

PET ROCKS descend in one unbroken line that can be traced back to the beginning of time and even farther.

You will be both pleased and amazed to see it is still there, right where you want it be, directly behind your right heel.

Perhaps you have seen a particular rock in the wild and thought it would make a nice pet.
