Sixty Seconds of Science: Watch Where You Rest Your Derriere

James is at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon where even the rocks that you might sit on have stories to tell.

When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be a "watch out for rattlesnakes" video. I was raised in the desert and that was one of the things that we learned early. Watch where you sit. Don't put your hands, feet, or butt in places where you can't see.

Very interesting

Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🤓 I thought this was going to be a safety video. Don't sit on the walls, you could fall to your death. 😬

James has baked his own noodle...take care he doesn't bake yours, too! (I don't think I'd even want to sit on anything he touched.)

I did construction there. We were not allowed to use local stone. All that stuff is made from cement. We had some art hobos from some NYC college do all the texture. If you pry the stones out with a crowbar, you will see that almost all of them are actually signed on the bottom.

I forgot to mention. One of the NYC Art Hobo kids was Jeff Koons. If you pry some stones out of the walls and floors there, and find one that he signed, it is probably worth a fortune. As I remember, he did nice animal related work--Like creature footprints and fake fossils. I'd start with those.

Are you suggesting destruction of federal property by attempting to remove those benches?! I’d suggest people NOT do that!

[@OakInch]

@@jayhache5609 I would never suggest that anyone allow themselves to be caught committing a crime. Let's try not to read bad intent into anything I say about how much some of those fake, unguarded, rocks are worth. I suspect you could fit 10, at most, into the bed of a Toyota pickup truck.

@@OakInch Do you think I could borrow your pickup next Sunday night? Maybe a pry bar too.

When “scientists” say 275 million years ago a lizard walked across a rock….🙄

isnt GOD awesome!

[@joanneadamovich8114]

Or 6000 or so years ago for those of us who believe in a young earth.

[@Sweetlyfe]

You can believe that, but the rocks and those canyons don’t lie.
