This makes me wish I knew enough about computers to build my own website. I've got this great collection of pet rocks, all of whom are wishing they could achieve internet stardom and its attendant immortality.

Some of my pets are gneiss, some of them are not so gneiss, particularly if you take them for granite. I've written bios of most of them, which will eventually be published as "Pet Rocks' Lives."

My favorites, though, are two pieces of fools' gold, which were originally tamed by two female relatives of William Penn. Yep, they're the pyrites of Penn's Aunts.

Most of my pebbles not house-broken, unfortunately, so I'm constantly having to pick up their little piles of schist.

Some of them are endomorphs, some are ectomorphs, but the majority are metamorphs. These don't lava handling too much, though they try to be magmanimous about it. Sometimes I even have to pumice them, though usually being sedimentary with them will keep them in line, particularly if you talc to them right.

I just chalk it up to being a good parent.
