Nordstrom Wants to Sell You An $85 Rock

Looking to blow money on something utterly useless? Then head to Nordstroms where you can get your hands on this great $85 rock that at least comes with a classy leather pouch. It's as though the store itself doesn't know why you would buy it, since their description doesn't even know what the purpose of the stupid thing is, "A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you."

Just like many absurd Amazon products, the item is being lampooned on the reviews in Nordstrom's shop. Unfortunately, it seems Nordstrom doesn't have as good of a sense of humor because the item has since been pulled and they also seem to have removed all the reviews. While the small rock version was also removed from the store, the reviews are at least still there.

FYI, this is NO ordinary rock. This is the 'rock on a block' rock. I bought one and put it on a block. Next day it was sitting on a bookshelf. The next morning it was holding a door ajar. My dogs would start barking at it in the middle of the night. I would pick it up and return it to it's block but it would be gone come morning. I painted it, put a happy face on it. I can't be sure but sometimes it doesn't look happy, IMO. It's eyes glow red at night. I don't think that's normal. The cat put it in the litter box one day. The dogs tried to bury it outside. I threw it into the neighbor's window- I mean yard!- but it was back on it's block the very next day. Frankly, this rock scares me. If anyone wants to adopt it this can be arranged. I'd be cool with that...
