    Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are the only things I remember from my geology class.

    Looking for the toughest rock to use as a weapon, of course.

    I wish I’d had one of those missiles in my hand tonight. I as crossing the street with the light and some guy in a Caddy SUV almost ran me over. Would have loved to throw a rock at his window

    I would think he’d like fossils. Dinosaurs and rocks, all in one! I started collecting fossils at around his age, maybe even younger.

    King David would agree with you, Calvin. All he had was five smooth stones and a sling.

    Cal probably could weaponize a feather, given a bit of time.

    Geology rocks, but geography is where it’s at.

    I think the point of today’s strip is that we humans understand a great deal of science but still think in terms of ancient myth. I don’t mean that I think God is a myth but thinking of meteorites as God’s weapons is another sign that we still mythologicise nature.

    A good soldier truly knows his weapon. Apparently, sometimes vandals know there’s.

    Owen Teale-Griffith versus Garth Davies-Gruffudd in the 1974 Field Rock showdown, a.k.a. “The Melon vs. The Felon.”

    Be sure to check out the documentary “How They Threw Rocks.”

    Fun fact, “between a rock and a hard place” is quite easy to remember.

    “Ballistic” means falling only under the influence of gravity and “missile” is anything that flies through the air. So, rocks, as thrown by hunters, were quite literally the first ballistic missiles.

    “Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are the only things I remember from my geology class.” That puts you three ahead of me!

    I considered becoming a geologist when I went to university, but I could never keep a straight face whenever I said granite schist

    A single rock can do a lot. Ask the dinosaurs.

    Should we be impressed with Calvin’s knowledge of rocks, or disturbed?

    A “ballistic” rock would be one that was tossed up into the air and hopefully came down on target. A ballistic trajectory is usually like an arc, not a straight line, like I think Calvin plans to throw it, directly at a certain target.

    I had a whirlwind (2 day tour) if Israel back in the ‘80s. I noticed that there seem to be rocks everywhere. That’s why I came to understand why stoning (not smoking pot) was very popular form of execution back in the day. Ammo everywhere you look.
