When I worked as the librarian at the Texas Historical Commission a few
years ago, one of the strangest requests we had was a fellow who brought
in a rock that he had picked up off the ground outside the Alamo, as a
child.  He wanted the THC archeologists to authenticate his rock.

power to put bad marks on their permanent records.
