I'd just tell everybody it was aliens... That would be a cool story!

Indeed it would...Mexicans sneaking across the border in the dead of night to put an unusual piece of worked stone in an unlikely location!

Oh, wait--you didn't mean that kind of aliens, did you?

Optional secondary prize, a date with Eleanor Holmes-Norton.

This thread was fun. Here is another one for you to ponder.

You should make the picnic table, with the center hole up, and put an umbrella in it.

In the first 2 pictures, there appears to be grooves/channels cut in the surface. A closer pic or different angle may show those better. I have seen those on other mill grindstones. Still have no idea about the teeth on the outer edge but the channels were to move the grain from the center to the outside as it was ground up.

I would say the Home version would be a fine gift. No contestant should leave the stage empty handed.
