If that's not fake, it's pretty spectacular!

Must have been some gays in that farmhouse.

"The boulder came to rest near a rock that had been dislodged many years previously."

Presumably the boulder on the right rolled down sometime before the house was built. I would have built my house somewhere else.

Yep. Maybe they thought '"lightning never strikes twice ..."

I saw the boulder article yesterday and there was another huge boulder that ended up stopping right by the back wall of the house; it's seriously large. I'd be looking to move

Yup, it just avoided crushing a parked car.

Luck isn't in it.

Nah, you can just blame the government if something happens to it, like all those fuckwits in the UK at the moment who have houses on floody flood plains.

We can blame the governments here because they approved new housing in existing floodplains. Money makes things happen.

I would truck in a whole lot more boulders, and stack them behind the farm as protection. Pack the gaps with soils, and plant flowers!

I doubt if there is a truck on Earth that could carry one of those. Not that there's a crane that could load it anyway. I would dig a lake in front of the house, and make it deep, and use what came out as a bank.
