                    STONE AND SAND
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME

I have to tell ya, I’m so proud of my baby girl.  She's working on a project for the school’s science-fair by growing citrine crystals in the basement.  What normally takes thousands of years to do in nature; chemists have somehow been able to reproduce in a matter of weeks.  I think
