Swedish geologist, being sad that there are plants in a botanical garden
That feel when there dares to be plants in an botanical garden, obstructing your view of a very good rock outcrop

Out-Of-Context Quotes From My Geology Professor
In honor of the end of my finals week, I compiled a bunch of random quotes from my geology professor:
“There’s reality, and then there’s Boulder, Colorado.”
“The Earth slowly loses heat to space, so eventually Earth will solidify. Except by that time, the sun will have engulfed us and we’ll be vaporized, so!”
“In a billion years, the Earth will barely be habitable, but to be honest, I’m not really losing sleep over it.”
“What also floats in water? Jesus… and witches, and very small rocks.”
“My grandma is from Ohio— they don’t have rocks there.”
“But you can’t watch them after 10 p.m. because that’s when aliens go home.”
“So quartz-rich rocks are siliceous, clay-rich rocks are argillaceous, and the Black-Eyed Peas are Fergilicious.”
“I can just see everyone’s faces start glazing over when I get talking about national park bathrooms.”
“Don’t feel bad, I used to wear socks with sandals, too.”
“Anticline points up, syncline points down. You can remember this because anticline looks like an A, and syncline— if you sin, you’re going down.”
“Death doesn’t matter when you have credit card debt.”
“I’m an old schist.”
“See, look, that poor sheep will never be fossilized.”
“I would say the best place to find gold is… Jared’s?”
“Saltating benthos— I always thought that would be a good name for a band. I mean, it is kinda like a rolling stone.”
“WHY are we FRENCH?”
“There’s enough death to go around!”
“This is not a part of my regular curriculum, but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? That stuff works so well!”
“Do you want to see a picture of the moose that chased me this past weekend?”
Bonus: my American literature professor once said “I haven’t really had a near-death experience. If anything, it was the opposite: a near life experience. Y’know, like, I almost had a life.”

Okay then, if you're so very clever...
If we're not meant to eat rocks, how come they're named shit like "apatite"?
You're damn fucking right I have an apetite.

(At the dinner table)
Me: *explaining Moh’s Hardness Scale for minerals to my parents*
Me: I should really start rereading my old geology books. It’s a good thing I have the mineral hardness scale mostly memorized.
Me: Wait. Most. Moh’s. Mostly. MOH’S-tly! I just made a pun!
Parents and me: *laughing*
Sister: *groan*
Several other geology puns were told tonight.
Me: What’s your favorite mineral?
Mom: I don’t know, let me zinc about it.
Me: I like quartz, of course.
“Don’t take these puns for granite!”
“I really lava geology puns!”
“This rocks!”
My parents were amused. My sister…. Not so much.

I got caught up in a long Facebook conversation about plate tectonics and it inspired two new jokes. I am quite proud of one of them, and the other is a terrible pun that I hope will be adopted by others who will in turn inflict it on the people they love.
Joke #1
The Indian tectonic plate sidled up to the Asian tectonic plate and said, "Psst! Wanna get high?"
Joke #2
A poultry farmer got a fresh delivery of birds for his farm and was amazed to find that the new rooster was capable of producing eggs.
He named this remarkable rooster Everest, because Himalayan.
