If your pet rock is anything like my pet rock, he or she's been dead for years, either from being left outside or starvation or not being able to breathe underwater, but now you can bring them back to life!!!

Step 1: Materials

Pet rock 003.JPG

You will need:

Your dead pet rock
Sandpaper
A marker

Step 2:


Now for all you over achievers start attacking your dead pet rock's face with that sandpaper, if you're worried you might hurt him, don't be he's dead, he can't feel a thing.

Now for the rest of us flip the pet rocks dead body over and simply draw a new happy alive face on there, but NEVER EVER, EVER flip the pet rock back over to the other side or else...   uh... rock poltergeists will infest your home, but other than that nothing really bad will happen I mean what can they do they're rocks.

I have many questions for you, like will my pet rock now be un-dead or truly alive. Also will this method work with pets and loved ones who have passed? Lastly if a rock is found in the wild how will i tell if it lives or is dead? Maybe you could post your home phone so interested parties could contact you directly? I have many questions about many things, and I am very lonely. I love you, I mean goodbye and thanks.
