Rocks didn't used to be so interesting until I started playing dwarf fortress. :)

Heheh, I visited one of those novelty rock shops in the southwest, and what used to be worthless colored lumps to me were a treat to examine.  I wound up buying a lump of native copper ore to put on my desk.

This is one of the things I love so much about DF: playing it turns you into a dwarf!

I'm required to take geology and geotechnical engineering next semester anyways, so at least with a DF background I'll have more of a connection to the material.  Taking materials lab has already really made me look forward to that part of the next update.
When I first started playing, I spent a bunch of time wandering around the geology collection tucked away in the bottom of the physics tower.  All the various stuffed animals/skeletons in the biology hall are interesting too, at least from a perspective of "how big is the damn macaque that keeps interrupting my herbalists anyways".

Goddamn elves bring me nothing but cloth--so they get nothing but death by magma.

Well, I've grown a beard since I started playing DF. That's more because I moved somewhere cold, though.
