Also, for those who remember the Night's Watch burial ritual, here's an old one I made when we found a crow or grackle that had been hit by a car.

Rob Reiner was one of the truly great creatives in my lifetime. I was reading his book about Spinal Tap when I got the news. I had taken a Stonehenge picture of the book earlier that day, not knowing that it would a memorial instead of an homage.
RIP Meathead. All the way to eleven.

I CUT OPEN THE ROCK!
It's malleable. The pocketknife 'smeared' the inside if the rock as it cut through, making the lighter-colored stripes. The lighter-colored area stops where the rock popped open from the pressure.
It looks less like crystal and more like a compressed mass.

While measuring brown sugar today, I noticed a dis-colored mass and culled it. Washed it off and it looked like a rock. "How did a rock get in there?"
Later, in the name of Science! I licked the rock.
It was sweet. I decided it's probably a solid crystal of sugar that had escaped the crusher.

I recently bought a window punch from a fire department supplier. Now my feed gets lots of ads for axes, helmets, and other protective gear. Some of the gear is posed on mannequins that give off a seriously 70's B-movie SF vibe.

This xkcd cartoon makes a good point, but in my case it was two weeks screwing around with PostScript (on the company's dime) after getting my Ph.D. (They got their money's worth in subsequent years with the some surprisingly automatable data presentations.)
