And thus, the human race discovered the formula for making....sand.
obviously man made global warming is at work here , as there are no real naturally occuring changes to our planet.
and you are right "That'sF'inCrazy"
and obviously the reich-wing still refuses to acknowledge what is right in front of them.
and obviously the Red Left still refuses to acknowledge that their show is over
That's right, Harry, it's so Evil to care about others and actually do something REAL to help them. Y'all really need to learn the difference between Socialism and Communism. Don't forget to offer a prayer to your Fascist heroes, Harry.
The thing that amazes me is that anyone just anyone could have made this discovery with simple observation, but out of billions of people in this planet a very few still take the time to ponder on nature while sitting on a boulder. Congratulations to this true scientist!
this 'brilliant scholar' did not actually observe anything happen - he just had a hallucination due to some sort of bowel disorder
Oh, so you were there? Then why didn't YOU write up the report?
Spelling and Grammar check please! Ugh!
I AGREE! Just because it isn't written on paper, doesn't mean it doesn't need edited.
OMG!
It just goes to show that you don't need a good education to get a job!
I'll be dipped. What an interesting observation. I love geology.
Kind what of english was used to article write?
The English known as "rush the story and don't bother checking anything for errors". Also known as journalism.

It's amazing how bad the writing on this site can be. (nice catch, editors!)
There ain't no editors, 'cause that would cost money -- and in the world of Corporate Business, anything that costs money is the first thing to get the ax. Dontcha know thet yet?

This writer displays poor grammar and spelling. Not very impressive.
The story is somewhat interesting, however.
i like it ...yes i do...but it need's some music...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cacrqrF-UC0
The lack of grammar, spelling and proper syntax may not be the fault of the writer -- but it IS the fault of the Corporation responsible for not hiring any proof-readers to make sure the articles do not contain any grammatical, spelling and/or syntax errors.
i know ...it's only...rock and roll...
but I like it like it yes I do.
wind.....
If it was wind, the tops of the boulders would also be smoothed -- not just the sides.
I'd say this is pretty amazing!
Interesting article, terrible editing. Proofread before you post.
What editing? They don't have any editors -- because editors cost money.
Love all that "bumping and grinding"...some kind of stone sex? Seriously...knowing that this is indeed one of the driest areas on the planet, what about the possibility of blowing sand...just sayin'
If it was blowing sand, the tops of the boulders would also be smoothed -- not just the sides.
Verrrrrry interesting! However, I'm not suprised that several other post's complain about the grammar in this article. It seems as if bad grammar and poor spelling has become the norm, it's an epidemic amongst online writers. I realize that in this fast paced world were all pressed for time, and a mistake now and then can be forgiven. But please, if spellcheck doesn't do it for you, maybe invest in a freelance proofreader that would provide for a much more polished presentation. You know, like what were used to reading in the papers and magazines.
Speeking of proofreading.... The contraction of we are is we're -- not were. jus' sayin'.....
speaking of speeking and spelling!
You don't know much about sarcasm and satire, do you -- THE4CSTHATB?
Well boys an girls I see that some of my English College Professor are here telling a few how to spell, spreading so of that Progressive Liberal ideology that there smarter than most just ask them they will tell you PS don't forget to wash out your coffee cups good story . good day
The interesting thing about the author's article is that he has a job, even though the article was poorly edited. I have friends that have PhD's that can't find jobs.
i have friend's with out any education...that can't find a job...they're good people too...and most of them are smarter than the politicians that lead us...
You certainly write like a hillbilly...congrats!
i'm a hill bobby...thank's
Well, at least us stupid Progressive Liberals know how to use proper punctuation -- and then go about actually using it!
You must have missed the punctuation class then, Hu?
So, hu is this Hu you refer tu?
Rocks have shoulders?
boulders have shoulders...rocks have nothing but...big butts...
Charlie Brown said it best: "I got a rock"
I wonder if the earthquake explanation for the erosion could also be applied to the race track in death valley? The race track is the place where there is visual evidence that enormous boulders have inexplicably been moving along the desert floor, as they leave tracks behind them.
Little aliens push those at night. Seriously you make a good point.
them little aliens...smoke'n them martian cigarettes...they call it get'n stoned...seriously they make a good joint...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZShVsRM_-c
Wheels, those rocks in Death Valley have moved around and left those "race tracks" behind them without even a tiny earth tremble to shiver them. But there is a lot of wind during the twilight minutes in Death Valley.....
Terrible ritin and spelin...was the writer STONED????...I wonder....

I think it's cool that he discovered it when he was taking a crap!
There is NOTHING in the article that says he was taking a crap while sitting on that boulder.
You're dead wrong Buddy:
University of Arizona geologist Jay Quade were traveling through the area when Quade's sour stomach forced them to stop their truck at a lifeless expanse of boulders in the Atacama that they had passed before without noticing anything unusual.
What do you think he was doing there? Use your head.
You should have kept reading -- you would have seen the part that says:
"Then, on another trip to the Atacama, Quade was standing on one of these boulders, pondering their histories when a 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck. The whole landscape started moving and the sound of the grinding of rocks was loud and clear."
Two different trips to the area, two different incidents -- and no mention at all about taking a crap from the top of any boulder. Stay in school, kids.
He took a crap
Ok, so where does it say that? Come on, provide the quote from the article -- and it had better include him sittin' on a rock while doin' it.
Very interesting article.
However, I wish someone would have proofread it first!

Please post your SPAM somewhere else.
that's because it is absurd, so why are you spamming it?
last I checked, this story was about rocks.
Marcelo has rocks in his head, too. He must have, because he replied to himself.......

Just like the Glaciers in Iceland, a scientists showed a picture of the Glacier's Melting and Global Warming. It was great , But the picture was taken in 1925.
Just like our Local News giving the Weather forecast after we had a hotter than Normal couple of weeks, and they say well we broke the record set back in 1934. Really, No Atomic Power Plants, Not a lot of Car & Trucks on the road. Really ,what caused it back than.
The only thing I can think of is People ate a lot of Cabbage and had a lot os GAS.
Maybe, just maybe, you're full of hot air.
