This, along with a t-shirt I saw with 'Gneiss cleavage', has convinced me that geology = rock porn.
Geology in real life is when you're with friends and you somehow get to talking about making things overflow in the microwave (porridge, cocoa, etc). (On a related note, I'm sure there's a scientific explanation for it, but I know that the porridge is in fact an alien force from outer space, intent on destroying the world. For reasons I can't quite fathom, it can only move around and not get detected when it's in the microwave. Some people see porridge spilling over the bowl and think of how they've got to clean it. Me, I see the alien sludge creeping back into the bowl once I open the microwave door, its plans foiled, and I go about my day happy in the knowledge that I have saved the world through eating breakfast once again.)
Back to our scheduled program... we're talking about things in microwaves, and someone makes a comment about the stuff overflowing, 'like a Vesuvius'.
What, then, does it say about your nerd level when you think for a moment, then say 'actually, it's not really like Vesuvius, because Vesuvius has thick lava and it's much more explose. This would be more like a shield volcano, since it has much runnier lava.'
I do love science. :D
