No. As they are inanimate and not resistant to erosion.

Perhaps if the pet rock comes fully functional...

I've seen pet rocks in shop windows with googly eyes and stuck on hair.


Yes, but are they REAL pet rocks? Huh? You know, the ones with the box and the guide that look suspiciously manufactured...
I suppose they count. The whole notion of pet rocks is ultimately pointless though.

It's a rock which is a pet. Therefore it is a pet rock.

I might go and pick a pet rock out of the ground, give it a good scrubbing and make it a bed of cotton wool and such.

You could make an entire scale model of New York for it to roam around on occasion. Then a tiny microwave for it to make ready-meals in. Then perhaps a cow. No reason.

If you are laughing at people who have or have had pet rocks,I shall dump you in Room 101! I used to have a pet rock but then it died, then I got a spotted pet rock and painted it green with blue eyes so that it looked like a frog or fish. I still have it somewhere in one of my comode!

This thread merely suggests that pet rocks are a viable alternative to real animals and prevent the animal creulty that so frequently surfaces in modern society.
And yes, we piss-take those who own pet rocks. You were asking for it. You really, really were. You have a PET ROCK. Think about it!!

Of course they're not -real- pet rocks. Giving it human like features defeats the point, does it not?
Shhh! Don't say they're pointless! You'll hurt iggy the igneous's siliceous feelings!

Not unless they are trying to produce Easter Island minatures. That COULD be a lucrative business...
And I suppose there is a 'Sedric' the 'sed'imentary and a 'Greta' the 'meta'-morphic as well?

I doubt that the demand for such is overly high...Really? I thought that Cedric could be spelt with either. You know, one of those colloquially warped spellings.

You'd be suprised what gullible american tourists are willing to pay for.
Please note the use of the word 'siliceous' in my post. It took me quite some time to look it up to get the spelling right, so you missed it in your quote, seeing as I added it in in an edit... hoorah for Terry Pratchett and his vocabluary increasing novels...

Yes. I saw a programme where this Amerian woman decided to collect thousands of Princess Diana dolls. I think that gullible only scratches the surface with Americans. Especially American tourists. Or Japanese tourists. Because THEY can't understand anything AS WELL as being gullible. *looks up* It isn't in the dictionary... pfft. Not that it really matters anymore. Well done for being all wordy though.
