"During the Apollo missions to the Moon 40 years ago, Ass-ernaughts brought back dozens of rock samples."

I'm sorry. That's what he says. xD

Wonderful rock formations, and beautifully presented. Rocks are our oldest things on the planet, and tell so much of the past. The beautiful igneous Rocks around Lake Victoria in Tanzania record the ancient history of the lake itself. I've uploaded a short video of some of them on my youtube site, under Speak Swahili, Dammit.
