Miserable little shiite is on an all expenses paid field trip to Scotland to visit the classic locations of geology !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't they have that when I was in the honors program at the same school?

HUH HUH HUH??

God bless his innocent lilly white rump.

Those trip leaders are work him OVER!!!

SCOTLAND, at this time of year? He must have lost his marbles.

JimBob · « **Reply #2 on:** 18/09/2010 04:28:02 »

No - his rocks - and more than three locs. are on the Isle of SKYE in the NORTH SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRU-TALLLLLLLLLLLLL !!

what did you guys do when all you had were kilts, oh refuge from North Carlyle?

Geezer · « **Reply #3 on:** 18/09/2010 05:22:41 »

erm, the last time I checked, Skye was nowhere near the North Sea, but as you are obviously hallucinating, I'll cut you some slack.

Whatever they are giving you, it's working. Demand more [

Perhaps he's standing here (maybe in a driving rain at 3C)?

Scotland is my most favourite place in the world. Hope that Frethack likes it too.

The horizontal rain is bad enough. It's the horizontal sheep that really get your attention.

As in rain, sheep and snow? [

With a strong enough gale I would imagine they get their fair share of horizontal sheep sh*t up on the highlands [

Is that Kilt Rock?!?! I've been there!!! And, yes, it was cold, misty rain, and windy. I thought I liked the rain until I spent a semester in Scotland. Brrrr.....

A helpful illustration

does this remind anyone of an opera?

Der Fliegender Hollander, perhaps - only use "Scotsman" instead of "Dutchman."

Kudos on the art, Piscaso

Geezer · « **Reply #11 on:** 23/09/2010 05:40:28 »

Ah, then you'd be thinking of the famous steam locomotive then.

You have rare insight. True artistry is seldom appreciated while the artiste is still to the fore. I might be able to let the original go for as little as $200,000. Bear in mind that it will instantly appreciate significantly as soon as I croak.

I won't pay that!!

BUT I will send you a vial of poison.

Thank you very much, but I'm quite capable of covering my own asp.

I would hope so. There are laws about public indecency. I have heard of trouser snakes - but skirt snakes

It actually wasnt THAT cold. It was especially cold as the sun was setting because the wind picked up, but the highs averaged around 12-16C.

A couple of pictures...Ill post more soon. We went to Huttons uncomformity at Siccar Point, where he found hard evidence for his theory of uniformitarianism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siccar_Point

Darwin was heavily influenced by Hutton, and was one of the first major proponents for the hypothesis. This set the stage for the wide acceptance of deep geologic time, and gave Darwin the time span needed for his theory of evolution.

The climb was steep...ugh.

Here is the unconformity. I love geology.

Despite my comments, September is really quite a good time to visit Scotland. End of May and early June can also be really pleasant. I think the average rainfall is a bit greater in July and August.

Fantastic pictures, frethack! A truly inspiring landscape!

There are some lovely mylonites at siccar point too.

Is quite a nice book giving quite an accessible (i.e. not overly academic) overview of the geological evolution of scotland...

Frethack,

Did you climb up the Old Man of Stoor, too?

Where is FRETHAC ?????
