Scientists Develop New
"Super Rock" – CoverUps.com

For years, man has used rocks for the simplest of tasks. Whether it was a house being built, or a chess piece being carved, rocks have always been solid. But since we can remember, there haven’t been any drastic new developments in rock technology.

"Up until now, there have just been three simple types, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic," says Dr. Sennet Han of the University of Arizona.

Then earlier this year, scientists supposedly developed a fourth kind of rock in their labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These new genetically modified rocks, (GMRs) are able to do things that no one thought capable.

During the early stages of the project, this photo was taken displaying the rocks ablility to organize.

Some of the attributes of the new "breed" are being able to control density, shape, color and even temperature. This can bring all new meaning to the idea the "Pet Rock."

"This project has cost millions and while some may mock or even disbelieve, we are very pleased with the results. It's like we reinvented the wheel, we did something that many thought no one could do," Han told Coverups.com.

In this photo, the GMRs were able to change color, and shape to hide their identity amongst other rocks. (It seems to the untrained eye that those are Easter eggs.)

Many people ask why? There is much confusion as to why so much money was put into something that seems unnecessary. Han shed some light, "Rocks before were just hard and came in one color. Some were more expensive than others. These GMRs can be whatever we need them to be. They can even be fuzzy."

Rocks in their natural "pre-superized" state.

Critics point out that some of these characteristics are contradictory to the textbook definition of "rock." Dr. Gregory Remolds of the Smithsonian proclaimed, "Some of them can even be hollow. I mean, it’s just preposterous! Why even call them rocks?"

Naysayers aside, the GMRs are a huge step forward in science. Like plants before them, rocks are now under man's control. Whether they line your garden or are just a decorative paper weight, these rocks can soon be the hottest item on the market. "In the next ten years you can expect to see these rocks in every home in America," says Han.
