My dad has a big piece of petrified wood.

At least that's what he told yo' mama

Aliantha · 08-24-2007, 06:26 AM

lol...very funny, but no.

It's an actual block of timber which has become petrified. He got it from a mine he was doing some work on.

Did you know that there is actually no wood in petrified wood?

Though in life it may have been a Jurassic-period Araucaria spp. conifer. Those and palms are what you find around the Petrified Forest deposits. If there are comparable deposits in Australia... hadn't been paying attention to which continent was in question...

Yes i realize that Merc. Once upon a time it was wood though.

No, America the land of freedom and democracy, and all the cost that comes with it.

Well said Ali.

Aliantha · 08-25-2007, 05:59 AM

lol...I'd be interested to know what meaning you created from my statement (which was very much tongue in cheek as I'm sure you know).

xoxoxoBruce · 08-25-2007, 05:59 AM

Aliantha · 08-25-2007, 06:00 AM
