I also got first degree burns on my toes just from proximity to the lava because I was wearing flip flops

I'd ask why you were wearing flip flops next to lava but I wore flip flops once in freezing degree weather, fell in some snow and my toes almost froze because my dumbass ex bf made us miss the bus.

I have personally done the I won't bother putting on shoes because I'm only going to be outside for 2 seconds, and locked myself out of the house, barefoot in -10C. Longest 10 minutes of my life before I found an unlocked window.

Apparently this is the easiest way to tell a fossil apart from just a regular rock, you lick it and if it sticks to your tongue, it's a fossil :eng101:

That's unfortunate. Think of all the discoveries science won't make now, because you failed to collect that valuable data.
An impoverished 6-year-old amputee in Mumbai was destined to cure cancer, but now, because you didn't lick the lava, he's instead going to attend and drop out of culinary school and produce a line of frozen curries that cause autism.

Only if the bone is old enough. If it's not old enough to mineralize it also tastes of death

Not all fossilised bones are still bone-shaped, so you should lick all rocks just to be safe.

probably so they wouldn't get tangled up with it underwater, or have it swing around and hit them in the head.

I would guess so they didn't break it or hit themselves in the face with it by accident.

If it's still warm, it's almost certainly got too much moisture content to be a coprolite

Instead it's a coproheavy
