These structures are thought to be the result of density differences and far off tectonic activity, but there is a very real possibility that they are temporal with, and perhaps, the result of, the impacts.

Just a hypothesis, but would make a good study for a paper.

A couple of the big ass sponges that I saw yesterday.

Stomatoporoids from the Ordovician of Ky.

The one on the right looks like a sheetrock hammer.

[cousin it]

It is a mason's or soft rock hammer. A sheet rock hammer is actually a hatchet.

[Macker]

Yes, with a round head. I have a couple I was joking but they are probably of the same manufacturing or design model. The one pictured even looks like the same brand as the one's I have.

Estwing. They make some good shit. I have 10 or 12 of their various hammers and hatchets.

[Macker]

Yeah I have a Estwing lump hammer as well as my 2 sheet rock, a hatchet and a roofing hammer. They do make a good product. We used to get them for work but they are a bit too expensive to be left behind or stolen twice a week [Lump Hammers]. I will probably be cleaning the garage out this weekend and who knows what I'll find in the way of tools. That's probably causing most of the mess. That and sporting equipment.

Check this thing out. It is a coconut crab... the largest extant terrestrial invertebrate. I wonder what it tastes like.

[LISA]

holy shit...cook the fucker, I'd eat it....after I was done crapping my pants looking at it..damn it be scarey creature

[Timothy]

You may need a hatchet for that fucker.

[LISA]

and a large bowl of butter..

[Macker]

It's been a while since I saw one. Your not supposed to eat them. Only native Islanders can but they can be tasty if you do.

I was just checking THAT out..apparently they are delicious with a faint sweet coconut milk flavour to the flesh...hence the name and their desire for feasting on coconuts...they can climb a coconut tree and pincer off a coconut,rip the husks off with its' huge claw and eat the coconut flesh with the small claw...
