Meteor-wrongs
I love geeky science web sites. Via Science Magazine's site, I found this collection of rocks that people have thought were meteorites; by clicking on the pictures, it tells you why it's probably not a meteorite.
I also love geeky science memory aids. One of my favorites is from Scott Adams, writer of Dilbert.blog, discussing how to remember the difference between stalactites and stalagmites:
"Remember, stalagmites might stick to the ceiling, but they don't"

My method for remembering those was always that stalagtites have to hold on "tite" to stay on the ceiling.

Next time you're in Southwest Oregon, try to visit the Oregon Caves.
If you're not claustrophobic, that is.
