Dolomite should be black :P
« on: May 10, 2011, 11:48:17 pm »

Does anyone else think that Dolomite should actually be a black mineral, and be incredibly tough?

No. Why would you do something like that? Is there some kind of reference I'm not getting? ???

I'm guessing it's a Futurama reference, where a 1,000 year old dog was encased in dolomite, shown as thick black stone.  A quick wikipedia search shows that Futurama is hilarious and inaccurate.

Pretty sure y'all are missing the reference... and I'm feeling old again.

Here is what I think he may be referring to:

When I was reorganizing my inventory to fit all by books on life and death into various bags and things, I looked at my inventory and saw that I was multigrasping a necromancer slab.  It was pretty hilarious.
I think that would be an excellent way to impart the critical lessons of life and death to the ignorant masses.

By now, I should have taken it for granite that what was originally a gneiss joke will degenerate into lamer and lamer puns.

Urgh, these lead balloon puns just boron everyone around. I marble at your ability to just ore through it all, regardless of the damage you hew.

Those puns are ridiculous, as if you were drawn to this thread by a goddamn magnetite. You lot should be hung, drawn and quartzered.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.
