Heh, my daughter has inherited my dyslexia. We have a number of running jokes between us as a result.
An oldie a counsellor told me when I was young:
What does a dyslexic do when they can't sleep?
They lie there thinking about dog. -

Bing put this image up today, from Greece, and I am confused as to how the rocks are so squared. Did people do that? Is it natural?

@Grey that looks natural to me. Do you happen to know which beach it is?

I see you couldn't take the high Rhode to avoid the obvious dad joke. Now, about the rock. Naturally forming straight lines and right angles aren't common in sandstone. So what's the deal here?

That's salt water, and often volcanic activity. But I can't find anything specific to the rock formations on Rhodes.

Shale = ~100% carbon.
Yes, it breaks that way due the way the carbon molecules bind to each other in a square grid.
