RECIPE: Take the above and shove it up your stove. Boil at 450 degrees farenheit until only sediment remains. Then smoke it and the resulting hallucination may approximate the state of mind of the seniors who have haunted these hallowed halls this year...

Serendipity struck a group of Ohio State University geologists last December as they picked away at the stratified sediment in an ancient stream bed high in the frigid Transantarctic Mountains. Investigating rock strata to learn more about the Antarctic ice sheet, they uncovered a small fossilized bone fragment with continent-sized implications...
...where tektites found on land all appear to have had the same origin. Basing their estimates on the distribution and radioactive dating of these tek- tites, scientists had long assumed that the meteorite weighed a few thousand tons and struck about 700,000 years ago. While he was examining sediment cores taken from more widely separated locations on the floors of the Indian and Pacific oceans, Geologist Glass discovered tiny tektites, apparently from the same meteorite. To have littered so large an area, Glass and Heezen calculated, the meteorite could have weighed a billion tons and might have been...
Color TV inside the body has been tried for examining the stomach, but the advantages over conventional gastroscopy are not so great as in the less accessible bladder. While moderate bleeding from the bladder wall, or the churning of heavy urinary sediment, may obscure the TV cystoscope's view, this blurring is usually only temporary. The pictures generally are clear and sharp-and in remarkably true color...
