Igneous Day 2- The Final "Fire" Fight
Igneous Rocks Day 2:
Rock Song of the Day: The Theme to Rocky-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PtvLTZS4Ik
Rock fact: If you start digging today at a rate of one foot per minute- you will reach the other side of the Earth in the year 2098. Plus you'd have to get through the magma and 6000 degree Celsius cores to get to the other side, and no bathroom breaks or eating breaks.
Check out this picture- it is even more awesome because when you put your mouse over it- you are able to ZOOM IN on the trees an rocks- TRY IT. You can see the different layers of volcanic ash like in Pompeii.

Mineral Joke of the day: A girl sits alone with her head down in a grassy field. Her friend walks up to her and asks,"What's troubling you dear friend?"
The girl responds, "I can't find it!, I have looked and looked."
"Well I will help you look, I have a chocolate bar, do you want some?"
"No, I can't eat!, I've lost my apatite."
Don't get it? Apatite is a mineral-hehe.
Rock Song of the day #1: Bob Seger- Like a Rock.

Twitter privacy settings fixed.
Try again. @MrDSci - I had the privacy settings blocking too much. Mineral Joke on there and one here:

From:http://mineralhumor.homestead.com/OldJokes.html
Bubba and Rocky were mineral collecting one day and a guy came up to Bubba and asked...How long are you going to be working in that hole?
Bubba said....About 2 hours.
The guy left.
The next Saturday, Bubba and Rocky were at the same dump, and the same man came up to Bubba and asked him how long he was going to be digging in that hole.
Bubba said....About 3 hours.
The guy left.
Well, the next Saturday, the same thing happened, and Bubba said....About 2 hours, and the guy left.
Bubba turned to Rocky and said....Hey, do me a favor and follow that guy, will you? He keeps asking me how long I am going to be digging here, but then leaves and doesn't come back.
Rocky does, and comes back a while later, laughing.
Bubba: So...where does that guy go when he leaves here?
Rocky stops laughing long enough to say....To your house!
I in no way endorse going to people's homes without them being there- DON'T DO THAT.
