This along with the groundhog dying the day before Groundhog Day makes it seem like there's some dice game being played by the gods for the human race.

A friend of mine said at the end of 2020 that his prediction was that "2020 will be the best year of the decade" and it's scary watching that cynicism come true.

2016-2019 were all better than 2020.

Wonder if the stone had a bunch of naturally occurring tetraethyllead or dimethylmercury or similar that unknowingly affected people nearby.

A bit of survivorship bias. There are superstitious things like this all over the world , just one of them happened to break now so everyone’s like we’re doomed.

I mean I agree we’re doomed but what the H does this rock have to do with it!
