Igneous joke for the day.

Oh you don't get it? Well that's okay, because Igneous is bliss.

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.

PROJECTS DUE TOMORROWWWWWW

HEEEEYYYYY Students. Here ye hear ye, all shall finish thy project upon the morrow, lest ye survive sans 10% of your quarterly grade.

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.
