Yeah... but to see the history you have to smash the rock.

Naaah, you can also drill for a core sample...

But that does require a special drill...

Anywho, that isn´t even necesary with most stones, since their outside was formed ages ago too, plut some of them have different layers, visible from the outside...

Recently I found a nice chunk of rock; it's metal of some sort (iron?) and highly magnetic, but it doesn't seem either rusted or man-made. Odd.

Odd indeed! But from what I know of iron rocks, I'd say that either you've found a piece of haematite (iron ore) out in the open - which is possible, but not all that likely - Or you've found something even more interesting, a meteorite. You could probably ask a chemist or something to run tests on it, or just ask a geologist. Bella-san's found something interesting!

[Smokey]

Yeah, highly magnetic rocks are not all that common.....

Don't get ripped off if it is something interesting...

Wow... today I just got back from camping(one-day only>_<) It was nice  until I woke up.I was soaked and freezing.

[Smokey]

I remember i went camping once...

It was ~30 - 40 celsius and we had our (polyester) dome-tents out in the full sun, turning them into little doom-tents...
I had 3 120mm fans and a table fan running almost 24/7 in there but i still woke up in a bath of sweat... Plus my PC kept nagging about high temps and my amplifier kept blowing fuses...

Next time i'm bringing along a mobile a/c unit.

[CaptBrenden]

wait.. you took a computer camping? WTF is wrong with you? XD just stay home!

[Smokey]

It was on Campzone...
A LAN party with ~2000 peepz and enough server power to supply the whole of Holland with internet...
It's my woodstock...

Plus it's not as if it'll get stolen, security was tight enough... Only thing i know happened was a guy finding that someone had painted "cheater" all over his car (for obvious reasons, but i still disagree with it)...

I've seen and handled meteorites before...it doesn't really seem like one; most meteorites seem either melted-looking, or have ripples or holes in them...it seems a little to rough I guess. But I'm no expert on the subject.

Whoa...a LAN party...that's so cool in a geeky kinda way  ;010

[Smokey]

I like to look at Campzone as going camping with Gigabit LAN, power for your PC, home cinema set, fridge, oven, one or two live shows/concerts, a couple of movies on a 10ft screen (beamer), you odd gaming competition, and of course 6 guys building a tesla coil... ;010

Like i said, it's my woodstock... 11 days of LAN and peace...

[icerain]

I loved the place where we camped...We also put on a little skit called (the)"Enlarging Machine". It was kinda weird as we didn't practice for it.

[Smokey]

Sweet...
Skits and acts are cool...

[CaptBrenden]

CAMPING: YOUR DOIN IT WRONG!

Unless the cheater in question was camping.. near the rocket launcher or spawn points

[Smokey]

LOL, camping near spawnpoints is evil...

[CaptBrenden]

anyhow, real camping is putting away your toys for a weekend, living with gas lanterns, no power, eating food cooked over a roaring fire pit with the only sound around being the gental breese blowing through the trees.  What you discribed isnt even camping.  Its a LIE.  its an insult to camping!

[Smokey]

Yeah, well, there's that too, real camping, but i go abroad for that...
Campzone is in holland, and that's the only thing resembling camping i'll do in this country...
